Question

Which statement about the ordered pairs (-2, 9), (0, 9) and (3,9) is not true?

A) The points lie on the graph of a vertical line
B)The points lie on the graph of the equation y = 9.
C) The points represent a function.
D) The slope of the line between each pair of points is 0.​

Answer 1

The statement that is not true is that the points represent a function.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement that is not true is option C) The points represent a function.

In this case, all three ordered pairs have the same y-coordinate, which is 9.

Therefore, when we plot these points on a graph, they will lie on a horizontal line, not a vertical line.

Since the x-values are different but the y-values are the same, these points do not represent a function.

A function is a relation in which each input (x-value) corresponds to exactly one output (y-value), but in this case, multiple x-values correspond to the same y-value.
