Answer:

This relation is NOT a function.

Explanation:

Just check the x's. If you have a repeat (the first x is -7, but so is the x on the third point)

If the x's repeat it has to be exactly the same point (same y both times)

If the x's repeat and have different y's, then the relation is NOT a function.
