Yes, the values represent a function because each y-value is paired with only one x-value.
No, the values do not represent a function because the x-values are not in ascending order.
No, the values do not represent a function because there is no single rule that relates each pair of values.

Answer 1

Yes, the first answer is correct: "Yes, the values represent a function because each x-value is paired with only one y-value."

All x-values (-4, -2, 0, 1, -6) are distinct, so each input has exactly one output.
