To determine which relations show y
as a function of x
, we must check if each x
value corresponds to exactly one y
value (i.e., there are no repeated x
values with different y
values).
Let's evaluate each option:
A. (-1,2), (3, -4), (-1,7), (0,9)
- The
x
value -1 appears twice with differenty
values (2 and 7). Therefore, A is not a function.
B. (1,6), (3,4), (-1,3), (0,-5)
- All
x
values (1, 3, -1, 0) are unique. Therefore, B is a function.
C. (1,2), (3,2), (-1,2), (0,2)
- All
x
values (1, 3, -1, 0) are unique. Therefore, C is a function.
D. (-5,8), (8,4), (-2,5), (0,-4)
- All
x
values (-5, 8, -2, 0) are unique. Therefore, D is a function.
E. (1,7), (3,4), (1,-3), (2,-6)
- The
x
value 1 appears twice with differenty
values (7 and -3). Therefore, E is not a function.
F. (9,2), (0, -4), (-1,6), (9,-8)
- The
x
value 9 appears twice with differenty
values (2 and -8). Therefore, F is not a function.
In summary, the relations that show y
as a function of x
are:
- B
- C
- D
