You seem to have the correct values but I have trouble understanding some things. For example, what is "there are parallel to y axis" supposed to mean? Did you leave out a reference to asymptotes?

Your listed features for graph functions are correct and cover the main aspects of graphing. However, there are a few additional features that can be included:

1. Axes and Scale: Graphs typically have two axes (x and y) and a scale that represents the units of measurement. This allows for accurate plotting and interpretation of data.

2. Labels and Titles: It is important to label the axes and provide a title for the graph to clearly indicate what is being represented.

3. Multiple Data Sets: Graphs can also display multiple data sets on the same graph, allowing for comparison and analysis.

4. Trend Lines: Trend lines can be added to a graph to show the overall trend of the data, making it easier to identify patterns and make predictions.

5. Annotations: Annotations can be added to a graph to provide additional information or highlight specific data points.

As for the uses of graph functions, they are widely used in various fields such as mathematics, science, economics, and business. Some common uses include:

1. Visualizing Data: Graphs provide a visual representation of data, making it easier to understand and analyze complex information.

2. Identifying Patterns and Trends: By plotting data points on a graph, patterns and trends can be easily identified, helping to make predictions and decisions.

3. Comparing Data: Graphs allow for easy comparison of multiple data sets, making it useful for identifying differences and similarities.

4. Predicting Future Trends: With the help of trend lines and other tools, graphs can be used to make predictions about future trends and patterns.

5. Communicating Information: Graphs are an effective way to communicate information and data to others, as they are easy to understand and interpret.
