Question

look at this set of ordered pairs: (-2, 16) (19, 0) (-2, -2) (3, 8) (14, 15) is this relation a function? yes no

Explanation:

Step1: Recall function definition

A relation is a function if each input (x - value) has exactly one output (y - value).

Step2: Check x - values

Look at the ordered pairs: For \(x=-2\), we have two different \(y\) - values, \(16\) (from \((-2,16)\)) and \(-2\) (from \((-2, - 2)\)). Since the input \(x = - 2\) is associated with more than one output, the relation does not satisfy the definition of a function.

Answer:

no
