Answer 2

Answer:D) No, because for some x's there are more than one y's.

Step-by-step explanation:The definition of a function states that for every x there is only one y. If you look at the data table for an x- value of 8 there are 2

different y-values 7 and 9. Therefore the correct answer is No, because for some x's there are more than one y's.
