Answer:

Yes, no two ordered pairs in this list has the same first element.

x values can only have one y value

different x values CAN have the same y value ex (3,3) (4,3).

Answer:

Yes, no two ordered pairs in this list has the same second element.

Explanation:

The function is a relation that associates to different elements
x_1 and
x_2 different elements
y_1 and
y_2.

Given K = {(-3, -3), (-4, -4), (-5, -5), (-6, -6)}

So,


  • x_1=-3\rightarrow y_1=-3;

  • x_2=-4\rightarrow y_2=-4;

  • x_3=-5\rightarrow y_3=-5;

  • x_4=-6\rightarrow y_4=-6.

Since different x have different image points y, this relation is the function. The correct answer is "Yes, no two ordered pairs in this list has the same second element."
