Tell whether the relation is a function. {(-5, -3), (-1, 3), (4, 3), (8, 8)}

Given:

The relation is {(-5, -3), (-1, 3), (4,3), (8, 8)}.

To find:

Whether the given relation is a function or not.

Solution:

A relation is called a function, if there exist a unique output for each input.

We have, a relation given as

{(-5, -3), (-1, 3), (4,3), (8, 8)}

Here, all x-values are different. So, each x-value has a unique y-value.

Thus, there exist a unique output for each input.

Therefore, the given relation is a function.

step-by-step explanation:

∆abc has the points a(1, 7), b(-2, 2), and c(4, 2) as its vertices. formed with the point d(1, 2) as its third vertex, then ∆abd is triangle.

the formula of a slope:

from a table we have

substitute:

the slope of f(x) is -1.

the graph of funcfion g(x) is a horizontal line. the slope of a horizontal line is equal 0. therefore the slope of g(x) is 0.

-1 < 0
