Question
Hello!
I'm in 8th grade currently taking Algebra.
I'm confused with this problem, when I try to solve it the function doesn't work with the problem.

The coordinates are (3,1# (6,2# #9,3) #2,4)
Thank you.

    Can you make sure you have typed in the problem correctly please. What you have above are NOT coordinates: (3,1# (6,2# #9,3) #2,4) and there is no function here. What function were you given?
Functions can be a set of ordered pairs but they would look like (a,b) where a and b are real numbers.
