8. A function of x contains the five ordered pairs
of the form (x, y). Four of these points are
given below.
(-2, 7), (0, 3), (1, -4), (5,-2)
Which ordered pair could
represent the fifth point?
A. (1,9).
B. (5,7)
C. (3,-4)
D. (0,-8)

Respuesta :

the correct answer is A

Point given in Option C represents a function.

 By definition of a function,

"If two points lie on the graph of a function, 'x' values can't have two different 'y' values.

Example: Two coordinates (1, -1) and (1, 4) will not represent a function as x = 1 has two different y values (-1 and 4).

Now check for every option.

Option A

(1, 9) and (1, -4)

Two different y values (9 and -4) for the same value of x = 1.

Therefore, (1, 9) doesn't represent a function.

Option B

(5, 7) and (5, -2)

Two different y values (7 and -2) for the same value of x = 5/

Therefore, (5, 7) doesn't represents a function.

Option C

(3, -4)

Since, y-values of all the points are different for every value of x,

Therefore, it represents a function.

Option D

(0, 8) and (0, 3)

Two different y values (8 and 3) for the same value of x = 0.

Therefore, (0, 8) doesn't represent a function.

  Option (C) is the correct option.
