Consider the following relation
{(1,5),(3,8),(3,3),(6,9),(7,7)}
Part B does this relation pass the vertical line test? How do you know, explain your answer.
Part c Which ordered pair could be removed so that the relation is a function? Explain your answer.
To determine if the given relation passes the vertical line test, we need to check if multiple ordered pairs have the same x-coordinate. If there are any duplicate x-coordinates, then the relation does not pass the vertical line test.
Given the relation: {(1,5),(3,8),(3,3),(6,9),(7,7)}
Part B:
The relation does not pass the vertical line test because it contains two ordered pairs with the same x-coordinate: (3,8) and (3,3). This means that there are two points on the graph that lie on the same vertical line, indicating that the relation is not a function.
Part C:
To make the relation a function, we need to remove one of the ordered pairs with the same x-coordinate. In this case, both (3,8) and (3,3) have the same x-coordinate of 3. Therefore, we can remove either of these ordered pairs and the relation would become a function.
