Question

Is the following relation a function? x y 1 −2 1 −3 2 1 3 −2

Answer 1

Answer:

It is not a function!

Step-by-step explanation:

It is not a function!

A function can't have two y-values assigned to the same x-value. In this case, you can se that for x=1 we have two y-values, which are y= -2 and y= -3.

We can have have two x-values assigned to the same y-value, that's why it's okay that for x=1 and x=3 we have the same y-value y=-2
