A) Not a function

Step-by-step explanation

A function is a relation which describes that there should be only one output for each input

Step 1

let's check the given ordered pair


\begin{gathered} (x,y),\text{ x is the input, y is the output} \\ (-6,5)\text{ , -6}\Rightarrow5 \\ (-3,-7),\text{ -3}\Rightarrow-7 \\ (4,6),\text{ 4}\Rightarrow6 \\ (4,8).\text{ 4}\Rightarrow8 \end{gathered}

we can see that

the input 4 has 2 outputs 6 and 8, so

this is not a function, hence the answer is

A) Not a function

I hope this helps you
