To determine if a graph represents a function, we apply the Vertical Line Test. This test involves drawing vertical lines (at various values of $x$) across the graph. If any vertical line intersects the graph at more than one point, the graph does not represent a function.

Steps:

1. Draw vertical lines at various points on the graph.
2. Observe the intersections:
   • If a vertical line touches the graph at more than one point, the graph does not pass the Vertical Line Test and is not a function.
   • If every vertical line touches the graph at only one point, then the graph is a function.

Since you have not uploaded the image of the graph, I am unable to perform this test directly on your graph. However, based on your description, you can apply this process to determine the answer.
