Does this set of ordered pairs represent a function? Why or why not?

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that for a function to be valid, each input value of x must give us one and only one unique output  value for y.

in this case we can see that one of the data sets is (3,-1)

which means that an input of 3 gave an output of -1

but we also see that another data set (3,1)

in this case an input of 3 gave an output of 1.

Because the same x input gives 2 different y outputs, this is not a function.

the answer is A
