Age and Shoe Size

8 7

9 8

10 9

8 9

14 9

15 11

10 10

33 9

27 9.5

45 10.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The definition of a function states that for every x there is only one y. If you look at the data table for an x - value of 8 there are 2 different y-values 7 and 9. Therefore the correct answer is No, because for some x's there are more than one y's.
