In order for the relation to be a function, each x-value must correspond to exactly one y-value. This means there cannot be any repeated x-values in the relation.
Looking at the given order pairs:
(1,5), (3,8), (3,3), (6,9), (7,7)
The x-value 3 is repeated twice, with different y-values. Therefore, in order to make the relation a function, we would need to remove one of the order pairs that have x=3.
If we remove the order pair (3,3), the relation will then be a function.
(1,5), (3,8) (3,3), (6,9), (7,7)
which order pair could be removed so that the relation is a function
