Which relation is a function? {(0, –9), (–9, –2), (0, –3)} {(0, –9), (–9, 0), (–3, –3)} {0, –9, –2, –3} {(0, –9), (–2, –3), (–2, 0), (–3, –2)}

eviant:

@dude if there are 2 x values in a relation, is it a function or not?

Shadow:

If there are two coordinates with the same x value then it would fail the vertical line test

Shadow:

Does that make sense?

eviant:

so, it's not a function if there are 2 coordinates with the same x value

Shadow:

Correct

eviant:

can two coordinates make a function or it has to be 3 coordinates?

eviant:

@Shadow

Shadow:

I mean in order to test if it is a function or not without a graph, you would need more than one coordinate like (x,y)(x,y) Then based on that given information, you could make the best possible choice of declaring if it is a function or not.

Shadow:

{0, –9, –2, –3} This just looks like a list of x or y coordinates.

Shadow:

or values I should say.

eviant:

so, the answer is B then?

Shadow:

It seems so
