By definition, a relation is a function if each input value (x-value) has one and only one output value (y-value).

In this case, you have the following relation:


\mleft(1,5\mright)\mleft(3,1\mright)\mleft(5,0\mright)\mleft(-2,6\mright)

Notice that each ordered pair has this form:


(x,y)

Where "x" is the input value and "y" is the output value.

You can identify that each input value has one and only output value. Therefore, you can conclude that this relation is a function.

Hence, the answer is: It is a function.
