Which is not a function?
(x - 2)^2 + y^2 = 4
x^2 + 4x + y = 4
x + y = 4
xy = 4
Do you use the Horizontal line rule, or the vertical line rule?
When is the appropriate time to use each test?

Vertical line. If you at any point you can draw a vertical line that crosses the graph twice, it is not a function.
x + y = 4 is a line, meaning it is a linear function.
xy = 4 is also a line, meaning it is also a linear function.
x^2 + 4x + y = 4 is a vertical parabola, meaning it is a geometric function.
(x - 2)^2 + y^2 = 4 is a circle, meaning it is not a function.
The easy way to tell: the y in the last equation has an exponent. If the y has an exponent it's either a circle or a horizontal parabola, which means it fails the vertical line test, and is therefore not a function.

We use verticle line test
(i) (x - 2)^2 + y^2 = 4 it is a circle which is cut twice by verticle line, therefore not a fuction
(ii) x^2 + 4x + y = 4 this is a parabola opening up and a vertcle line will cut once, it is a function
(iii) x + y = 4 it is a straight line whice is cut once by verticle line, therefore it is a function
(iv) xy = 4 for one valu of x there is one value of y, therefore is also function

You can restrict the range, (x-2)² + y² = 4 is not a function, but y = √{4 -(x-2)²} is, because we ignore the ±y we get from our square root and only use the positive case. So, the first one is not a function.
Use the vertical line test. The horizontal test to see if the inverse of that function is a function.
