Answer

False.

Work Step by Step

A function is a correspondence between a first set, called the domain, and a second set, called the range, such that each member of the domain corresponds to exactly one member of the range. The graph of a function contains points (x, f(x)). For any value of x from the domain, there is exactly one y=f(x) from the range Having second coordinates equal does not violate the condition that each x has EXACTLY ONE corresponding y. As far as we know, x=9 is awarded exactly one value, y=5 x=7 is awarded exactly one value, y=5. No contradictions here, so they could be points on a graph of a function. The statement is false.
