To determine which ordered pairs can be included in the table while keeping the relation a function, we need to remember that a function cannot have two different y-values for the same x-value.

Let's review the ordered pairs already in the table:

- (-4, 4)
- (7, -2)
- (0, 9)
- (-1, 5)

Now, let's analyze each option:

A) **(2, 4)** - This has an x-value of 2, which is not currently in the table. Therefore, it can be included in the function.

B) **(0, -1)** - This has an x-value of 0, which is already in the table with a corresponding y-value of 9. Since we cannot have two different y-values (9 and -1) for the same x-value (0), this cannot be included.

C) **(-2, 7)** - This has an x-value of -2, which is not currently in the table. Therefore, it can be included in the function.

D) **(-4, 2)** - This has an x-value of -4, which is already in the table with a corresponding y-value of 4. Since we cannot have two different y-values (4 and 2) for the same x-value (-4), this cannot be included.

Thus, the ordered pairs that could be included in the table while keeping the relation a function are:

- A) (2, 4)
- C) (-2, 7)
