Identify the relation that is also a function. :A. {(0, -1) (1, -2) (2, -3) (-1, 2)} B. {(1, 0) (2, 3) (3, -1) (1, 5)} C. {(4, 2) (4, -3) (9, 3) (9, -3)} D. {(5, 4) (5, 1) (5, 3) (0, 5)}

a relation is a function if each x value is paired with exactly one y value so something like {(1,2), (3,4), (1,7)} is not a function since x = 1 is paired with y = 2 and y = 7 at the same time

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so its c

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

you sure? notice how we have (4,2) and (4,-3)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its b :)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

(1,0) and (1,5)....so no

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

if you plug in some number for x, it must produce EXACTLY ONE output y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

o soo A

hero (hero):

@lol54arino, are you guessing?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeahhhh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ughh its nun of then cuz they all have the same numbers

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

For each answer choice, plot all the points any of them that fail the vertical line test is not a function

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just check if (x, y) pairs are such that for same x coordinate you do not have two different y coordinates
