A laboratory technician is analyzing a graph that represents the reaction rate of a chemical compound over various temperatures. To determine if the reaction rate is a mathematical function of the temperature, the technician applies the vertical line test. Match each observation from the test with the correct conclusion about the relationship shown on the graph.
