Every function must have a exactly one y-value for every x-value. Two different x-values can have the same y-value, but two different y-values cannot have the same x-value.
In the table, we see that the same x-value has two different y-values:
The first fish has an integer of -4 and the other fish has an integer of -3. -3 is greater because -4 is one less of -3. If you put it on a line then -3 is closer to the 0 then -4.
