Answer:

The given relation is not a function.

Explanation:

A relation is called a function if there exist a unique value of y for each value of x.

The given table is

x y

1 -2

1 -3

2 1

3 -2

From this table it is clear that we have two values of y at x=1.

One value of y at x=1 is -2 and the second value of y at x=1 is -3.

Since the given relation has more than one value of y for x=1, therefore the given relation is not a function.
