Algebra-1

To determine if the relation is a function, we need to verify if each x-value has exactly one corresponding y-value.

Let's analyze the points given: (-5, 7) (-1, 3) (3, 5)

Here's an evaluation of each option:

A. "Yes, because the x-value -1 has three y-values paired with it."

This statement is incorrect. The x-value -1 is paired with only one y-value, which is 3. It does not have three y-values paired with it.

B. "Yes, because each x-value has only one y-value paired with it."

This statement is correct. Each x-value (-5, -1, 3) is paired with exactly one y-value (7, 3, 5 respectively). For example, -5 is paire...
