Formulas
relation
a set of ordered pairs
ex.: (-9,4)
domain
set of all first components of the ordered pairs
where is domain found
domain is found along the x axis or read from left to right on a graph
range
set of all second components of the ordered pairs
where is range found
range is found along the y axis or read from the bottom of the graph to the top
function
a relation in which each element of the domain corresponds to exactly one element of the range
examples of a function
x1 to y1
x2 to y2
x1 and x2 to y1
not a function
x1 to y1 and y2
or known as a vertical line
x-intercept
points where the graph touches the x-axis ex.: (9,0)
y-intercept
points where the graph touches the y-axis ex.:(0,9)
F(X) =
Y
slope
steepness of a line
it is independent of the two points chosen on the line
To find X-intercept
In the equation let y = 0
To find Y-intercept
in the equation let x = 0
Formula to find slope
M = Y2-Y1 / X2-X1
