Answer:

The last table is the one that represents a function

Explanation:

To be a function you can't have two different y values for the same x.

In option one, for
x =2, we have two values for
y:
y = 2 and
y = -2. So this is not a function.

In option two something similar happens, for
x = 5 we have two different
y values:
y = 2 and
y = 8, this is also not a funcion.

In option three for
x = 3 we also have two different values of
y:
y = 4 and
y = 5, this is not a function.

The correct option is the fourth:

In option four, for every
x we have a different value of
y and we don't have two
y's for the same
x (like in the other options)
