Answer: This represents a function

Step-by-step explanation: In this problem, we are given a relation in the form of a mapping diagram and we are asked if it represents a function. The easiest way to do this problem is to first translate the mapping diagram into a list of ordered pairs.

(6,-2) (-2,2) (4,1) (-1,1)

Now to determine if the relation is a function, we can simply look at the x coordinates of each ordered pair. Notice that all of them are different so the relation must be a function. It's important to understand that even though two of the Y coordinates are the same, this relation is still a function because the y coordinates do not have any effect on whether or not the relation is a function.
