Answer:

  • output for 5: 3.5
  • a function? Yes

Explanation:

You want a predicted value of the relation when the input is 5, and a determination of whether it is a function.

Prediction

Plotting the points on a graph, we see they lie on a straight line. The point on that line for x=5 is (5, 3.5).

The output for an input of 5 is 3.5.

Function

No input value is repeated, so the relation is a function. (There is no predicted value that will change this.)

Additional comment

The linear relation that describes this table is ...

y = (1/2)x +1
