is {(-5, -1), (5, -1), (2, -1)} a function
Note:
The function y = f(x) is a function if it passes the vertical line test. It is a one-to-one function if it passes both the vertical line test and the horizontal line test.
in your case, ordered pairs represents a function because no matter what input you give it gives the same output
this kind of function is usually written as y=a, and your is y=-1, and called a constant function
