Your text or notes should have definitions for a relation and a function
In simple terms, a relation is any equation that contains two different variables, usually x's and y's
e.g. x + y = 8 is a relation
again, in simple terms, if I can isolate the y so it is represented by one expression containing only x's and constants, then it is a function
There are probably fancier definitions found in your text, but the above makes sense.
If a set of ordered pairs is a function, are the ordered pairs also a relation? (Also, please explain why)
