Question 15 • CMS 2026-2027 NC Math 1 CREDIT RECOVERY
A set of ordered pairs represents a function when each input (the first number in each pair) is matched with exactly one output. In choice C, the inputs are 3, 7, −6, 9, and 2; none repeats, so each has just one output. The other choices repeat an input with different outputs, so they are not functions.
