Explain how the following ordered pairs represent or doesn't represent a function - {(–3, 5), (–2, 5), (–1, 5), (0, 5), (1, 5), (2, 5)}

A relation is a function if every input x is paired with exactly one output y. Here, each x value (−3, −2, −1, 0, 1, and 2) is paired with only y = 5, so the relation is a function. Choice b states this rule: “For every x value, there is only one y value — a function.”
