    Remember that in order to be a function, each x value can only have one y value associated with it.

    Let's look at the first two points of #1: (-7,5) and (-7,1). Those two points have the same x value, but different y values. So you know right away that #1 is not a function.

    Now can you spot the one that doesn't have repeated x values in it?
