Draw the vertical lines through the points. Observe that there is no
\vertical line contains more than one of the points.
\This graph passes the vertical line test.

Each element of the domain is paired with exactly one element of the range.
\Therefore the relation is a function and this one-to-one function.
\The graph consists of points that are not connected. So the relation is discrete.

Yes, the relation is a function and discrete.
