Question
which relation is also a function?
a.
image of a coordinate plane with points
b.
| x | y |
| 10 | 1 |
| 15 | 2 |
| 15 | 3 |
| 20 | 4 |
| 20 | 5 |
c. {(-8,8), (-6,5), (-6,4), (-3,1), (-1,0)}
d. partially visible, likely another relation representation
Step1: Recall function definition
A relation is a function if every input (x-value) has exactly one output (y-value).
Step2: Check Option A
List coordinates: $(-4,7), (-2,5), (2,-1), (3,-1), (6,-5)$. All x-values are unique.
Step3: Check Option B
Table has $x=15$ paired with $y=2$ and $y=3$; $x=20$ paired with $y=4$ and $y=5$. Duplicate x-values with different y-values, so not a function.
Step4: Check Option C
Set has $x=-6$ paired with $y=5$ and $y=4$. Duplicate x-value with different y-values, so not a function.
Step5: Confirm valid option
Only Option A satisfies the function definition.
