No, because the points do not form a straight line.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ordered pairs in the table do not represent a linear function. A linear function is a function in which the rate of change between any two points is constant. In this case, the rate of change between the points (1, 5) and (2, 10) is 5, while the rate of change between the points (2, 10) and (3, 7) is -3. Therefore, the rate of change is not constant and the points do not form a straight line. So, the correct answer is No, because the points do not form a straight line.
