Answer 1

To determine whether the given points represent a function, we need to check if any x-values are associated with more than one y-value. In a function, each x-value must correspond to exactly one y-value.

Here are the points you provided:

• (3, 3)
• (2, 9)
• (2, 6)
• (8, 7)
• (5, 11)
• (3, 2)

Now, let's identify the x-values:

• x = 3 appears twice: (3, 3) and (3, 2)
• x = 2 appears twice: (2, 9) and (2, 6)
• x = 8 appears once: (8, 7)
• x = 5 appears once: (5, 11)

Since the x-value 3 corresponds to two different y-values (3 and 2) and the x-value 2 corresponds to two different y-values (9 and 6), these points do not represent a function.

Thus, the answer is No.
