It is discrete.

Explanation:

The points described #(0,3),(2,-1),(4,-2)" and(-1,-1)# represent #(x,f(x))# i.e. #x#-coordinate indicates the values #x# takes and #y#-coordinate indicates the value of function #f(x)#.

As #f(x)# is defined just for #x=-1,0,2" and "4# i.e. in other words only for these discreet values of #x#. This represents domain of #x# and #f(x)# represents range.

Hence, it is discrete.
