Select yes if the relation is a function and no if the relation is not a function:

500, 600, 700, 800, 900
Domain, Range, Miles, Time
300, 100, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
yes, no

Final answer:

To assess if the relation is a function, each mile value must pair with one time value. Without a clear mapping provided, the function status is unclear. If each mileage maps to a unique time, the relation would be a function.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine whether a relation is a function, each input from the domain (in this case, the 'Miles') should be associated with exactly one output in the range (the 'Time'). Given the information presented, it appears that there is a set of ordered pairs—though not explicitly stated, they are likely given as miles and corresponding times. If each value in the domain (500, 600, 700, 800, 900) maps to exactly one number in the range (300, 100, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5), then this relation is a function. The problem, however, does not provide a clear mapping of miles to time. A clearer pattern or mapping needs to be identified to confirm that every input has a single output. If such a mapping can be confirmed, and each mile value maps to only one time value without repetition, then the answer would be 'yes'—the relation is a function. Otherwise, the answer would be 'no'.
