2-1: Graphing Linear Relations
     and Functions

Objectives:
• Understand, draw, and determine if a
     relation is a function.
• Graph & write linear equations,
     determine domain and range.
• Understand and calculate slope.
Relations & Functions

Relation: a set of ordered pairs
Domain: the set of x-coordinates
Range: the set of y-coordinates

When writing the domain and range, do not
 repeat values.
Relations and Functions

Given the relation:
 {(2, -6), (1, 4), (2, 4), (0,0), (1, -6), (3, 0)}
State the domain:
 D: {0,1, 2, 3}
State the range:
 R: {-6, 0, 4}
Relations and Functions
• Relations can be written in several
  ways: ordered pairs, table, graph, or
  mapping.

• We have already seen relations
  represented as ordered pairs.

Mapping

• Create two ovals with the domain on
     the left and the range on the right.
• Elements are not repeated.
• Connect elements of the domain with
     the corresponding elements in the
     range by drawing an arrow.

Functions

• A function is a relation in which the
     members of the domain (x-values)
     DO NOT repeat.
• So, for every x-value there is only
     one y-value that corresponds to it.
• y-values can be repeated.
Functions

• Discrete functions consist of points
    that are not connected.
• Continuous functions can be
    graphed with a line or smooth
    curve and contain an infinite
    number of points.
Do the ordered pairs represent a
function?
{(3, 4), (7, 2), (0, -1), (-2, 2), (-5, 0), (3, 3)}
No, 3 is repeated in the domain.

{(4, 1), (5, 2), (8, 2), (9, 8)}
Yes, no x-coordinate is repeated.
Graphs of a Function
Vertical Line Test:
    If a vertical line is passed over
 the graph and it intersects the
 graph in exactly one point, the
 graph represents a function.

Function Notation

• When we know that a relation is a
      function, the “y” in the equation can
      be replaced with f(x).
• f(x) is simply a notation to designate a
      function. It is pronounced „f‟ of „x‟.
• The „f‟ names the function, the „x‟ tells
      the variable that is being used.
Value of a Function

Since the equation y = x - 2
 represents a function, we can also
 write it as f(x) = x - 2.
Find f(4):
 f(4) = 4 - 2
 f(4) = 2
Value of a Function

If g(s) = 2s + 3, find g(-2).
     g(-2) = 2(-2) + 3
           =-4 + 3
           = -1
     g(-2) = -1
Value of a Function

If h(x) = x2 - x + 7, find h(2c).
  h(2c) = (2c)2 – (2c) + 7
        = 4c2 - 2c + 7
Value of a Function

If f(k) = k2 - 3, find f(a - 1)
     f(a - 1)=(a - 1)2 - 3
    (Remember FOIL?!)
            =(a-1)(a-1) - 3
            = a2 - a - a + 1 - 3
            = a2 - 2a - 2
