Define function as relation: A function is defined as a relation where each input (x-value) has exactly one output (y-value). To determine which set of ordered pairs does not represent a function, we need to check if there are any repeated x-values with different y-values in each set.Examine first set: Let's examine the first set: {(-2,5),(6,-1),(-7,5),(-6,4)}. We need to check if any x-value is repeated with a different y-value.  (-2,5) and (-7,5) have different x-values, so they are fine.  (6,-1) and (-6,4) also have different x-values.  There are no repeated x-values with different y-values in this set.Examine second set: Now, let's examine the second set: {(2,-4),(-7,9),(7,8),(3,8)}. Again, we check for repeated x-values with different y-values. (2,-4), (-7,9), (7,8), and (3,8) all have unique x-values.  There are no repeated x-values with different y-values in this set.Examine third set: Next, we examine the third set: {(3,-1),(3,7),(0,-3),(-4,-5)}. Here, we immediately see that the x-value 3 is repeated with different y-values: -1 and 7. (3,-1) and (3,7) indicate that the same x-value has two different y-values, which violates the definition of a function.Examine fourth set: Finally, let's examine the fourth set: {(8,-5),(-5,-1),(1,-5),(-7,5)}. We check for repeated x-values with different y-values. (8,-5), (-5,-1), (1,-5), and (-7,5) all have unique x-values.  There are no repeated x-values with different y-values in this set.
