  1. To determine which point preserves the function, we need to check if the line or relationship defined by previously existing points in the table is maintained.

    In a function, for every unique x-value, there should be exactly one corresponding y-value. If any of the x-values from the new points already exist in the table with a different y-value, that would violate the definition of a function.

    Here are considerations for each option:

    – A) (6, 9): If 6 is not already paired with another y-value, this could be valid.

    – B) (-8, 6): Similar evaluation as above.

    – C) (9, -6): Check if 9 is already associated with a different y-value.

    – D) (5, -8): Again, check for uniqueness of x=5 with its y-value.

    Since we don’t have the actual table, we can’t make a definitive choice without knowing the existing pairs. However, if the x-value in the new pair was already in the table with a different y-value, that would invalidate it as an added point.

    To conclude, the safest way to ensure to preserve the function is to choose a point where the x-value is not already in use. If none of the x-values already exist in the table, then any point can preserve the function.

    If we assume none of the x-values existed in the original table, then they would all be acceptable pairs. However, ensure to check the existing pairs in your table
