Answer:

No

Explanation:

A relation is a function if every x-value has exactly one y-value.

Because the x-value 1 has two y-values (-3 and 3), the relation is not a function.

Plotting (1, -3) and (1, 3) will produce a vertical line that intersects the function at two points.

Therefore, the relation is not a function.

Hope that helps.
