For eliminating you need to have a variable that cancels the other out and in this case 2x and -2x do. Then you want to take -3y+9y and add the numbers after the equal sign. -9+3

Which of the sets of ordered pairs represents a function?

alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

The correct option is 4. Neither A nor B represents a function.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given sets of ordered pairs are

$A=\{(1,-5), (8,-5), (8,7), (2,9)\}$

$B=\{(7,-4), (7,-2), (6,-3), (-9,5)\}$

A set of ordered pairs represents a function if there exist unique outputs for all inputs. It means for each values of x there exist, a unique value of y.

In set A the value of y-coordinates are -5 and 7 at $x=8$ .

At x=8, there exist more than one value of y, so the set A is not a function.

In set B the value of y-coordinates are -4 and -2 at $x=7$ .

At x=7, there exist more than one value of y, so the set B is not a function.

Therefore neither A nor B represents a function and option 4 is correct.
