Question

What are possible values of x and y for two distinct points, (5,-2) And (x,y) to represent a function

Answer 1

The answer could be (6,3) or (-3,8)

Answer 2

Explanation:

For a function we have the definition that the mapping must ensure that each x has a unique image of y.

Here we are given two distinct points as

(5,-2) and (x,y)

For these two points to be a function we must have both 5 and x should have unique image.

In other words, if x =5, y must equal -2,

and for x other than 5, y can take any value

So possible values are (5,-2) or (any value other than 5, any real value)
