Answer 1

Yes; there is only one range value for each domain value.

Explanation:

For a relation to be a function, every input, x-value, needs to have a unique output, y-value. This means that one x-value cannot have multiple y-values. So, in a function x-values will never repeat. Since x-values do not repeat in this relation, it is a function.
