Final answer:

The given relation represents a function as each input value is paired with the same output value of 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine if the given relation represents a function, we need to check if each input value (x-coordinate) is paired with a unique output value (y-coordinate).

In this case, the relation is:

  • a. (-1,7)
  • b. (-7,7)
  • c. (17,7)
  • d. (11,7)

Since each x-coordinate is paired with the same y-coordinate (7), the relation represents a function. In this function, every input value maps to the output value of 7.
