Which relation is a function?

{(2, 3), (1, 5), (2, 7)}
{(-1, 5), (-2, 6), (-3, 7)}
{(11, 9), (11, 5), (9, 3)}
{(3, 8), (0, 8), (3, -2)}

Answer:

The second one

Explanation:

In a function an input has a distinct output, so if I put 3 into a function and got 8, that is my answer and nothing else, if I put 3 again and get -2 then it isn't a function because I got a different answer. In the 1st, 3rd and 4th one there are two outputs for the same input so they aren't functions.

The second option because one same input cannot have two different outputs
For example, x + 2 = y
If I put in 3, y has to equal 5, nothing else.
This makes the second option the only option that is a function
Hope this helps!
