There is a rule:

One input (x-value) can only have one output (y-value) in order to be a function.

If one input has more than one output, it is not a function.

(This doesn't apply to outputs, one output can have more than one input and still be a function)

(2,10), (4,15), (6,20), (8,25)

This is a function because each input only has one output.
