Look at this set of ordered pairs:(15,-2)(8, -13)(8,7)Is this relation a function?

In order to these points represent a function, one value of x can have only corresponding value of y.

We can see in the second and third points that we have the same value of x being related to two different values of y, so these points can't represent a function.

Therefore this set of ordered pairs is a relation.
