In a function, each input has a single output. So do you think this can be a function? :)

in this case the first numbers are {3,−4,−5,1,4} with no repeats so it is a function am i right

OpenStudy (kamibug):

It's tru that the x values don't repeat, but according to the definition of a function I provided, all the y values should be different as well. So, notice that the first two coordinates are (3, 5) and (-4, 5). Since the x values are different, that means the y values should also be different if this were a function. But they both have 5 for y, so no this is not a function.
