For an ordered pair to represent a function, there needs to be a unique value of 'y' for each value of x.

Let's check the options:

• {(-6,1), (7,2), (6,5),(-6, -1)}

-6 has two corresponding y values, 1 and -1.

This isn't a function.

• {(8,7), (-8,-4),(4,8),(-8,1)}

-8 has two corresponding y values, 1 and -4.

This isn't a function.

• {(-2,7), (-2,0), (0, -6),(-4,0)}

-2 has two corresponding y values, 0 and 7.

This isn't a function.

• {(-2,-4), (-7,1), (8,3), (3,3)}

There are unique values of y for each x.

This is a function.

The answer choice is right.

{(-2,-4), (-7,1), (8,3), (3,3)}
