Key Concepts
Here are the essential concepts you must grasp in order to answer the question correctly.
Definition of a Function
A function is a specific type of relation where each input (or domain element) is associated with exactly one output (or range element). This means that for any given x-value, there cannot be multiple corresponding y-values. Understanding this definition is crucial for determining whether a relation qualifies as a function.

Graphs of Common Functions
Domain and Range
The domain of a relation is the set of all possible input values (x-values), while the range is the set of all possible output values (y-values). Identifying the domain and range helps in understanding the behavior of the function and its limitations. For the given relation, one must extract these sets from the ordered pairs.

Ordered Pairs
Ordered pairs are pairs of numbers written in the form (x, y), where x is the first element and y is the second. In the context of relations, each ordered pair represents a connection between an input and an output. Analyzing these pairs is essential for determining if a relation is a function and for identifying the domain and range.
