\n" ); document.write( "Find the answer yourself; you won't learn anything by having us give you the answer.

\n" ); document.write( "A relation defined by a set of ordered (x,y) pairs is a function if there are not two different y values for the same x value.

\n" ); document.write( "I'll get you started: Answer A is NOT a function, because the two pairs (1,1) and (1,-5) have two different y values for the same x value.

\n" ); document.write( "Two of the other three answer choices have the same thing that makes them NOT functions. There is only one where that kind of thing does not occur; that one is the function.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
