determine if each relation is a function


a. y=-3x-6
b. x=0
c. {(2,7),(5,-2),(7,0),5,-2)}
d. y=5
e. {(0,6),(-3,6)(-6,6)}
f. {(5,1),(4,-3),(3,7),(0,5)
thank you!!

Your Answer:
a) yes - all non-vertical lines are functions
b) no - this is a vertical line
c) no - this set is not even a relation, two elements are not ordered pairs
d) yes (see a) )
e) yes - every x-coordinate is matched with exactly one y-coordinate in this relation
