Answer: Function

Step-by-step explanation: A function is a special type of relation and for a relation to be a function, each x-term must correspond with exactly 1 y-term.

The easiest way to determine whether a relation is a function is to look at the x-coordinate of each ordered pair. If any of our ordered pairs have the same x-coordinate with a different y-coordinate, then our relation is no a function.

Since none of our x-terms repeat with different y-terms, this is a function.
