section 2 Flashcards
a set of pairs of input and output values
relation
a relation is the set of all outputs, or y-coordinates of the ordered pairs
range
is a relation in which each element of the domain is paired with exactly one element in the range
function
f(x) as ““f of x” or “a function f of x”
function notation
relation is the set of all inputs, or x-coordinates of the ordered pairs
domain
links elements of the domain with corresponding elements of the range
mapping diagram
on the graph of a relation to tell whether the relation is a function
vertical line test
y-intercept
line is the point at which the line crosses the y-axis.
slope
y2-y1
x2-x1
x-intercept
line is the point at which the line crosses the x-axis.
point-slope form
y-y1=m(x-x1)
linear equation
a solution of a linear equation is any ordered pair
independent variable
x is the
standard form of a linear equation
Ax+By=C
slope-intercept form
y=mx+b
linear function
a function whose graph is a line
dependent variable
y is the dependent variable
scatter plot
a graph that relates two different sets of data as ordered pairs
trend line
a line that approximates the relationship between the data sets of a scatter plot.
