Tell whether the relation is a function. {(-5, -3), (-1, 3), (4, 3), (8, 8)}

Given:

The relation is {(-5, -3), (-1, 3), (4,3), (8, 8)}.

To find:

Whether the given relation is a function or not.

Solution:

A relation is called a function, if there exist a unique output for each input.

We have, a relation given as

{(-5, -3), (-1, 3), (4,3), (8, 8)}

Here, all x-values are different. So, each x-value has a unique y-value.

Thus, there exist a unique output for each input.

Therefore, the given relation is a function.
