Which set of ordered pairs represents a function?

{(2, –2), (1, 5), (–2, 2), (1, –3), (8, –1)}
{(3, –1), (7, 1), (–6, –1), (9, 1), (2, –1)}
{(6, 8), (5, 2), (–2, –5), (1, –3), (–2, 9)}
{(–3, 1), (6, 3), (–3, 2), (–3, –3), (1, –1)}

Respuesta :

Answer: {(2,-2), (1,5), (-2,2), (1,-3), (8,-1)}, and {(3,-1), (7,1), (-6,-1), (9,1), (2,-1)

Step-by-step explanation: In order for a given relation to be a function, there can only be 1 x-value that can repeat. The y-values on the other hand can repeat an infinite amount of times. In the last 2 relations, you have (-2,-5), (-2,9) and (-3,1), (-3,2), and (-3,-3). You can also graph these relations and do a vertical line test with your pencil drawing a straight line downward and you'll notice that you will touch the graph more than 1 time. The first 2 relations if you were to graph them and do a vertical line test by using a pencil or pen, you'll notice that you will touch the graph once which shows you that you have a relation that is indeed a function.

Hope this explanation helps.
