Answer:

A is not a function

B is a function

C is a function

D is a function

E is not a function

F is a function

G is not a function

Explanation:

A is not a function because there are multiple outputs for the same input. In this case, the outputs 7 and -7 both have the same input of 1, and the outputs 8 and-8 both have the same input of 2. In order for a relationship to be a function, there must only exist one unique output for every input, no more, no less.

B is a function because each input is assigned one unique output

C is a function because each input is assigned one unique output (and also happens to be linear)

D is a function because no x-coordinate contains more than one y-coordinate, via the vertical line test

E is not a function because the x-coordinate of 3 has y-coordinates of both 3 and -1, which would fail the horizontal line test.

F is a function because no x-coordinate contains more than one y-coordinate, via the vertical line test

G is not a function because it fails the horizontal line test since there are multiple x-coordinates with multiple outputs assigned to them.
