The horizontal line test is a way to visually decide if each y value has one x-value. The vertical line test helps determine if each x value has one y-value.

Explanation:

Let's look at the graph: my image
I graphed several horizontal lines on the same coordinate plane to show that each line only crosses the function at one point. Therefore, this function is one-to-one. It is a function, and its inverse will also be a function. :)
