Which ordered pair (x,y) makes this relation a function?
{ (2,3),(-2,5),(4,4),(-4,5),(x,y) }
A relation from a set x to a set y is called a function if each element of x is related to exactly one element in y.
A.(-4,-1)-> cannot be because (-4,5)
B.(-1,-1)-> can be because is unique
C(-2,-1)-> cannot be because (-2,5)
D(2,-1)-> cannot be because (2,3)
so, answer is
B. (-1,-1)
