You can put this solution on YOUR website!
It's a function as long as you don't have
2 different values of y for the same x
The format is (x,y)
and the x+ for each point is
( 0,y[1] ), ( 5,y[2] ), ( 4,y[3] ), ( 3,y[4] )
None of the x-values are repeated, so with
just those points given, it is a function.
If the next point was (4,y[5]), then both
+y%5B3%5D+ and +y%5B5%5D+ would have the same
x-value which is +4+, so then it would no longer
be a function.
Hope this helps
