Asha found that a vertical line intersects the graph of $x=|y|$ at two points. What can Asha conclude about $x=|y|$ ?
It is a function of $x$ but not a relation.
It is a relation but not a function of $x$.
It is both a function of $x$ and a relation.
It is neither a function of $x$ nor a relation.

Step 1 ：Asha found that a vertical line intersects the graph of \(x=|y|\) at two points.

Step 2 ：The graph of \(x=|y|\) is a V-shaped graph that opens to the right.

Step 3 ：A vertical line intersects the graph at two points, which means that for a single value of \(x\), there are two corresponding values of \(y\).

Step 4 ：This violates the definition of a function, which states that for each input, there should be exactly one output.

Step 5 ：However, it does satisfy the definition of a relation, which simply states that there is a relationship between the two variables.

Step 6 ：\(\boxed{x=|y|}\) is a relation but not a function of \(x\).
