Question

A relation contains the ordered pairs (3,8) (6,10) (9,12) and (a,b). For which value of a and b is the relation a function

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(3,8) (6,10) (9,12) (a,b)

I dont see any answer choices, and there can be several answers....but I will try to explain

A function will not have any repeating x values...it can have repeating y values, just not the x ones....so all ur x's have to be different....and it doesn't matter what ur y is.

so the answer to this is :

(x,y)

ur y can be any number

ur x can be anything but : 3,6, or 9...so as long as ur x is not 3,6, or 9, then it will be a function
