Answer:

A. {(2, -1), (4, -2), (6, -3), (8, -4)}

Explanation:

A set of ordered pairs that is a function will have no repeated x-values.

Here, the x-values are ...

a) {2, 4, 6, 8} . . . no repeats, a function

b) (0, 1, 1, 2} . . . 1 is repeated; not a function

c) {3, 3, 4, 4} . . . 3 and 4 are repeated; not a function

d) {1, 1, 2, 2} . . . 1 and 2 are repeated; not a function

The first of the listed choices represents y as a function of x.
