Q:

Erin writes the set of ordered pairs below. The set represents a function.{(3, –3), (5, 0), (–1, 4), (–6, 7)} Erin claims that she can add any point to the set and have the set still represent a function. Which of the following points can be used to show that Erin's claim is incorrect? Select three that apply.A.(–6, 1)B.(–1, 9)C.(0, 5)D.(1, 7)E.(3, –2)

Accepted Solution

A:
Point A shows that she is incorrect.
With functions, you can perform the "straight line test through each point. If the line goes through both points, you know it's not a function.
If we plotted point A, it'd fail the straight line test because the given point (-6, 7) already has -6 as an x value.
Hope this helps!
