Answer:

The relation is NOT a function because the x values repeat.

Explanation:

remember a function means theres only ONE pair to a x value that means it cannot repeat the same number.In your equation there is a (3,1) and (3,-3) because there is 2 digits of 3 in the x value place the orderd pairs are NOT a function.
