A set of ordered pairs is called a
\textit{relation}:

{(14,15),(5,7),(3,10),(11,1),(5,8)} is a relation.

The pairs are called "ordered" because the order is important, for example:
(3, 4) and (4, 3) are 2 different things. In the first pair 3 is the
\textit{first coordinate}, but in the second one 3 is
\textit{second coordinate}



A relation is a
\textit{function} if no 2 first coordinates of the points are equal.

In the given relation, the first coordinates of points (5,7) and (5,8) are equal, so the relation is not a function.
