b){(4, 3), (4, -3), (2, 12), (7, 11)}
c){(1, -1), (0, 2), (-1, 1), (3.5, 4.6)}
d){(8, 0), (5, 1), (-8, -1), (3, 4)}
Answer by MRperkins(300) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! You could graph these and use the vertical line test to see which one is not a function. You could also look to see if any x value has more than one y value. A function can not have multiple F(x) values for an x. This means that when x=5, y can not equal 3 and 7.
