\n" ); document.write( "A relationship is NOT a function if there are any cases where a given x value has two different y values.

\n" ); document.write( " A.
\n" ); document.write( "(-5,0), (5,3), (-7,1), (5,5)
\n" ); document.write( "x=5 has two different y values, 3 and 5 --> NOT a function

\n" ); document.write( " B.
\n" ); document.write( "(-5,4), (5,6), (-5,3), (2,2)
\n" ); document.write( "x=-5 has two different y values, 4 and 3 --> NOT a function

\n" ); document.write( " C.
\n" ); document.write( "(-5,4), (4,6), (-5,3), (1,2)
\n" ); document.write( "x=-5 has two different y values, 4 and 3 --> NOT a function

\n" ); document.write( " D.
\n" ); document.write( "(-5,5), (5,3), (-7,2), (2,3)
\n" ); document.write( "All the x values are different, so there is no way that there can be two different y values for any x value. This is a function.

\n" ); document.write( "ANSWER: D
