Solution
For a set of ordered pairs to be a relation from B to A, then the
x-coordinates of the ordered pairs should be from B and the y-coordinates
should be from A. Now, in the given set of ordered pairs, the
x-coordinates of the ordered pairs are not from set B and the y-coordinates are not from the set A. Hence, the given set of ordered
pairs is not a relation from B to A.
