Answer:

We need to remove 3 points from 3 duplicated pairs so this graph so that it will be a function.

Explanation:

We know that a function is a relation where each input or x-value of the X set has a unique y-value or output of the Y set.

In other words, we can not have duplicated inputs as there should be only 1 output for each input.

From the graph, we can determine the table such as:

x y

-3 2

-3 3

1 4

1 -4

2 -2

2 -4

It is clear that the values of x = -3, x = 1, and x = 2 are repeated twice.

In other words, there are 3 duplicated pairs.

We know that we can not have duplicated inputs as there should be only 1 output for each input.

Thus, we need to remove 3 points from 3 duplicated pairs so this graph so that it will be a function.
