If a relation is a function, how many y-values can an x-value have?
Not a function
Practice makes perfect
For a relation to be a function, each x-value can only be paired with one y-value, but one y-value can be paired with multiple x-values. Let's consider the given ordered pairs.
{(8,4),(6,3),(4,2),(2,1),(6,0)}
Examining the ordered pairs, we can see that 6 is an x-value that is connected to two different y-values, which are 3 and 0. Therefore, the relation is not a function.
