The following ordered pairs (x, y) define the relation Q. Is Q a function? {(3,-2), (-3, 1). (-2. - 2), (1. - 3)}

A.Yes, because there is exactly one y-value for every x-value
B. No, because there is more than one y-value for every x-value
C. No, because there is more than one x-value for some y values
D. Yes, because there is exactly one x-value for every y-value​

Final answer:

The relation Q is a function because there is exactly one y-value for every x-value in the given ordered pairs.

Step-by-step explanation:

The relation Q is a function because for every x-value, there is exactly one corresponding y-value. In this case, the ordered pairs (3,-2), (-3, 1), (-2, -2), and (1, -3) represent the x and y-values of the relation. Each x-value corresponds to a unique y-value, and there are no repeated x-values or multiple y-values for a single x-value. Therefore, the answer is Option A: Yes, because there is exactly one y-value for every x-value.
