Answer:

b (2, 13)

Explanation:

In a function, no two ordered pairs can have the same x-coordinate.

The x-coordinates already listed are: -1, 0, 1.

Any ordered pair with one of those x-coordinates cannot be placed in the table for the relation to remain a function.

Choices c and d are out.

That leaves only choice a and b.

The relation is to remain a linear function.

Look at how a change in x results in a change in y.

In a linear function, equal changes in x must result in equal changes in y.

Points (-1, 4) and (0, 7)

From x = -1 to x = 0, the change in x is +1.

From y = 4 to y = 7, the change in y is +3.

Points (0, 7) and (1, 10)

From x = 0 to x = 1, the change in x is +1.

From y = 7 to y = 10, the change in y is +3.

Notice that in both cases, a change of +1 in x results in a change of +3 in y.

Both choices a and b have 2 as the x-coordinate.

Try choice b, (2, 13)

From (1, 10) to (2, 13), a change of +1 in x results in a change of +3 in y.

This is the same change we saw above in the other two sets of ordered pairs, so the answer is

b (2, 13)
