2.1-2.2 Flashcards
a set of pairs of input and output values
relation
a relation is the set of all inputs (x-coordinates)
domain
a relation is the set of all outputs (y-coordinates)
range
a map linking elements of the domain to corresponding elements of the range
mapping diagram
a relation in which each element of the domain is paired with exactly one element in the range
function
tells if a graph is a function or not
vertical-line test
f(x) is read as “f of x” or “a function f of x”
function notation
a function whose graph is a line ex: f(x) = 3x + 2
linear function
linear functions can be represented as ex: y = 3x + 2
linear equation
the value of y depends on the value of x, y is called
dependent variable
the x is called
independent variable
a line is the point at which the line crosses the y-axis (0,b)
y-intercept
a line is the point at which the line crosses the x-axis
x-intercept
Ax + By = C where A,B, & C are real numbers znd A & B /= 0
standard dorm of a linear equation
of a non-vertical line is the ratio of the vertical change to a corresponding horizontal change (m)
slope
