Hi there,

The Answer is no

To solve This we need to Remember That a relation can only be a Function if one number from X goes to Y.

In This instance, -1 goes to 2 and -1, While 6 goes to 3 and 4 to 3

Keep In mind that All the number given are points


Hope this Has Helped

Answer: No


Explanation:

A function has exactly one y output for each x input, and since the input -1 has two outputs, -1 and 2, it is not a function.
