Explanation of Solution
Given:
The table shows the numbers of games played and points scored by each starting player one the New Jersey Nets basketball team during the team’s 2001-2002 regular season.
Calculation:
We know that for a relation to be a function, one x- value cannot have two y -values, while two x- values can have same y- value.
Upon looking at our given table, we can see that there are two y -values corresponding to
Therefore, the given relation is not a function.
