Determine whether the following relation is a function.
{(3,7),(3,8),(3,-2),(3,4),(3,1)}
A. It is a function because the ordered pairs all have the same x-value.
B. It is not a function because there are multiple y-values paired with a single x-value.
C. It is a function because none of the ordered pairs have the same y-value.
D. It is not a function because none of the ordered pairs have the same y-value.
Pls help, I need this ASAP! Ty!

It was C.
I know the real math, however I was in a rush and I didn't have the time to type is up the numbers.
Well, Lupa, it seems like you have quite a situation here. Let's take a closer look and see if we can figure it out.
In a function, each x-value can only have one corresponding y-value. Looking at the relation {(3,7),(3,8),(3,-2),(3,4),(3,1)}, we can see that the x-value is always 3. However, there are multiple y-values paired with this x-value; specifically, the y-values are 7, 8, -2, 4, and 1.
So, with multiple y-values for the same x-value, we can conclude that this relation is not a function. Therefore, the correct answer would be option B: "It is not a function because there are multiple y-values paired with a single x-value."
I hope this clears things up for you, Lupa! If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.
To determine whether the given relation is a function, we need to check if each x-value has only one corresponding y-value.
Looking at the given relation: {(3,7),(3,8),(3,-2),(3,4),(3,1)}, we can see that all the ordered pairs have the same x-value, which is 3. However, there are multiple y-values (7, 8, -2, 4, and 1) paired with this single x-value.
Therefore, the correct answer is B. It is not a function because there are multiple y-values paired with a single x-value.
Which of the following graphs represents a function? Choose all that apply.
A. A coordinate plane is shown. There are five points on the graph at left parenthesis negative 2 comma 2 right parenthesis, left parenthesis negative 1 comma 1 right parenthesis, left parenthesis negative 1 comma negative 1 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 1 comma 1 right parenthesis, and left parenthesis 2 comma 2 right parenthesis.The y-axis goes from negative 5 to 5. The x-axis also goes from negative 5 to 5. The first point is graphed at left-parenthesis negative 2 comma 2 right-parenthesis, the second point is graphed at left-parenthesis negative 1 comma 1 right-parenthesis, the third point is graphed at left-parenthesis negative 1 comma negative 1 right-parenthesis, the fourth point is graphed at left-parenthesis 1 comma 1 right-parenthesis, and the fifth point is graphed at left-parenthesis 2 comma 2 right-parenthesis.
B. A parabola is graphed on a coordinate plane. Its vertex is at left parenthesis 0 comma 0 right parenthesis and the parabola opens to the right. It also passes through the points left parenthesis 4 comma 2 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 1 comma 1 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 1 comma negative 1 right parenthesis, and left parenthesis 4 comma negative 2 right parenthesis.
C. A parabola is graphed on a coordinate plane. Its vertex is at left parenthesis 0 comma 1 right parenthesis and the parabola opens upward. It also passes through the points left parenthesis negative 2 comma 5 right parenthesis, left parenthesis negative 1 comma 2 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 1 comma 2 right parenthesis, and left parenthesis 2 comma 5 right parenthesis.
D. A coordinate plane is shown. A single line runs from Quadrant Two to Quadrant Four. The line runs through the origin at left parenthesis 0 comma 0 right parenthesis.
Can someone help me out with this one though?

#1 was B, not C
I'll help on #2, but not till you lose all those words, and type real math. For example
"left parenthesis negative 2 comma 2 right parenthesis" means (-2,2)
