Note that each graph passes the vertical line test and is therefore the graph of a function. In each case, use inspection to determine whether or not there is symmetry. If the graph is symmetric with respect to the y-axis, it is that of an even function. If the graph is symmetric with respect to the origin, it is that of an odd function.
