Answer:

Yes, the set of ordered pairs is a function.

Step-by-step explanation:

To test whether a given set of ordered pairs represents a function, we have to make sure that it satisfies the definition.

By definition, a function cannot have two outputs for one input. For example, the set of ordered pairs (3, 10 ) and (4, 5) represents a function whereas (3, 10) and (3, 13) does not.

With this in mind, looking at the given set we see that every input gives a unique output; therefore, the set represents a function.
