Check Explanation

Step-by-step explanation

A function is an expression that takes up each value of an independent variable (x) and gives a corresponding value of a dependent variable (y) without the same values of the independent variable (x) giving different values of the dependent variable (y).

So, if a given group of data shows the same values of x that give different values of y, that relation is not a function.

Hope this Helps!!!
