Answer:

C. C{(6,-9),(-3,6),(-3,-7),(-9, -2)}

Explanation:

If you see the same x-coordinate used more than once, it is not a function.

Here, you only see this in choice C, where x = -3 for two points. That makes this relation not a function.

Answer:

C

Explanation:

In a function, each domain has one range. But a range can have many domains.

Think about it like this:

Patty is eating dinner

Patty is swimming

Both can't happen at the same time.

But:

Patty is eating dinner

Leo is eating dinner

C has two domains of -3, each having different ranges.

Hope that helps, tell me if you need further info. =)
