Answer:

A relation but not a function

Explanation:

A relation is a relationship between two sets of information ( x and y in this case )

This graph shows a relation as the x and y values share some sort of relationship

A function is a relation in which each input has it's own output.

We can determine if a relation is a function on a graph by using the vertical line test.

If you draw a vertical line and more than 1 point is on that line then the relation is not a function

If we were to draw a vertical line on the y axis there would be three points on that line therefore the relation is not a function

So we can conclude that the picture represents a relation but not a function
