Help please Which of the sets of ordered pairs represents a function? A = {(2, −2), (5, −5), (−2, 2), (−5, 5)} B = {(4, 2), (4, −2), (9, 3), (9, −3)} A. Only A B. Only B C. Both A and B D. Neither A nor B

in order for a set to be a function each x has to have exactly one corresponding y if x has two different y's that means it's not a function example (1, 2) (1, -1)

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

B does not represent a function since (4,2) (4,-2) one x has two y attached to it! it fails the vertical line test geometrically

OpenStudy (helpblahblahblah):

So would D be correct?

I gave you the definition now think about it and a little be and see
