Answer: No

Explanation: A function is a relation in which each x-coordinate corresponds to exactly one y-coordinate.

In the relation shown here, notice that

the x-coordinate 2 appears twice.

In one case, 2 corresponds to -4 and in

the other case, 2 corresponds to -4.

Since the x-coordinate 2 corresponds to more than one

y-coordinate, no, this relation is not a function.
