Answer:

Problem 9: No

Problem 10: Yes

Explanation:

Hello!

Problem 9:

This is NOT a function because one x-value has only one unique y-value. -2 is seen twice and the outputs, y, are given as 6 and 0.5. To be a function, each input has its own unique output. Two different inputs can have the same output.

Problem 10:

This IS a function, all inputs have unique outputs, and no repeating inputs are shown.

Terms:

x - values are also known as input, abscicca

y - values are also known as output, ordinate.
