Problem #1

Label the following as a discontinuous function or a continuous function.

The image is a graph of a line that goes through the third, second and first quadrant. The graph of the line goes from the lower left to the upper right. There is not a break in the line.

Answer: Continuous function

Problem #2

Label the following as a discontinuous function or a continuous function.
