Answer:

YES! it's one-to-one function.

Explanation:

Hello!

One to one function or one to one mapping states that each element of one set, say Set (A) is mapped with a unique element of another set, say, Set (B), where A and B are two different sets. It is also written as 1-1. In terms of function, it is stated as if f(x) = f(y) implies x = y, then f is one to one.

Thus, when we look at this given function

X Y


- 2 \: \: \: \: \: \: 1 \\ - 5 \: \: \: \: \:- 1 \\ 3 \: \: \: \: \: \: - 5 \\ 1 \: \: \: \: \: \: - 2 \\ 0 \: \: \: \: \: \: 5 \\ - 1 \: \: \: \: \: \: 6 \\ - 6 \: \: \: \: \: \: \: 7 \\ \: \: 7 \: \: \: \: \: \: - 6

So, when you look at each value of x is attaches with different value of y and there is no repetition of elements means that one element of x is directly attached to one element of y.

Hope it helps!
