A relation is a set of ordered pairs. The first coordinate in an ordered pair is
the x-coordinate. The second coordinate is the y-coordinate. The domain
of a relation is the set of all x-coordinates, and the range is the set of all
y-coordinates.
EXAMPLE
Express the relation {(4, 1), (1, 2), (1, 4), (2, 3), (4, 3)} as a
table and as a graph. Then determine the domain and range.

Equations as Relations
(Pages 244–249)
An equation in two variables has solutions that are ordered pairs in the
form (x, y). The set of solutions to a problem is called the solution set.
Solution of an
Equation in Two
If a true statement results when the numbers in an ordered pair are substituted into
an equation in two variables, then the ordered pair is a solution of the equation.

An equation whose graph is a straight line is called a linear equation. A
linear equation may contain one or two variables with no variable having an
exponent other than 1. A linear equation can be written in the form Ax By C,
where A, B, and C are any real numbers, and A and B are not both zero. To
graph a linear equation, make a table of ordered pairs that are solutions. Then
graph the ordered pairs and draw a straight line through them.
EXAMPLES
B Graph the equation y 2.
A Determine whether the equation
y 2x 1 is a linear equation. If it is,
identify A, B, and C.
Select five values for the domain and make a table.
This is a linear equation, since the equation contains
only two variables and the power of each variable is 1.
First, rewrite the equation so that both variables are
on the same side of the equation.

Note that because the
equation does not
contain the variable x, x
can be any value and the
y-value will still be 2.
Then graph the ordered pairs and
connect them to draw the line.
Note that the graph of y 2 is a
horizontal line through (0, 2).
The equation is now in the form Ax By C, where
A 2, B 1, and C 1.

1. If the equation x 3 is a linear

2. Graph the equation 3x y 5.

equation for y. Subtract 3x from each side and then
divide each side by 1.
HINT: Since there is no variable y in this equation,
use the placeholder 0y.

A function is a relation in which each element of the domain is paired with
exactly one element of the range. Equations that are functions can be written
in a form called functional notation, f(x) (read “f of x”). In a function, x is
an element of the domain and f(x) is the corresponding element in the range.
In f (3), f (3) is the functional value of f for x 3.
Vertical
Line Test
If each vertical line passes through no more than one point of the graph of a relation, then
the relation is a function.
EXAMPLES

f(1) and g(3).
A Is {(1, 2), (1, 3)} a function? Is
{(1, 4), (3, 2), (5, 4)} a function?
1st relation: not a function
This relation has 1 paired with both 2 and 3.
f(x) 3x 1
f(1) 3(1) 1 or 2
Replace x with 1.
2nd relation: a function
In this relation, each x-value is paired with no more
than one y-value. A function can have a y-value
paired with more than one x-value.

A direct variation is a linear function that can be written in the form y kx,
where k 0. In this equation, k is called the constant of variation. We say
that y varies directly as x. Since y depends on x, y is the dependent variable
and x is the independent variable. The graph of a direct variation passes
through the origin. Direct variations can be used to solve rate problems.
