Do you need help explaining what is a function and what is not?

A function has one set of x values per set of y values. Therefore, they cannot be duplicates of the same x-value as seen in the second example. The x-value (1), shares two y values (2) and (7), which is not a function. You would be unable to graph it as seen here: |dw:1461898183532:dw|
