Yes, the values represent a function because each x-value is paired with only one y-value.
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

The correct answer is:

Yes, the values represent a function because each x-value is paired with only one y-value.

In a function, each input (x-value) must be associated with exactly one output (y-value). The table of values provided shows that each x-value corresponds to a unique y-value, which satisfies the definition of a function. The order of the x-values does not affect whether it is a function or not.
