If y = 9x - 7, which of the following sets represents possible inputs and outputs of the function, represented as ordered pairs? {(7,9), (8, 10), (9, 11)} {(0, -7), (1, 2), (-1, -16)} {(1,9), (2,7), (3, 16)} {(-7,0), (2, 1), (-16, -1)}
For something to be a function of something else, it means that the second thing directly impacts the first thing in some way. Also, you would expect that with the same input, you consistently receive the same output.
