Answer:

Only the second one

Explanation:

All of the others have multiple values for 'x'

a function can only have one value for each value of x

Example: the first one when x = 2 it has two 'y' values 3 and 9

Answer:

No, it does not represent a function

Explanation:

A function can be described as a set of points where each x coordinate has 1 corresponding Y coordinate

1 has multiple different Y coordinates

2 has multiple different Y coordinates

-4 has multiple different Y coordinates
