2. Section 2.1
Relations and Functions

3. Objectives
Analyze and graph relations.
Find functional values.

4. Vocabulary
Ordered Pair: A pair of coordinates, written in the form (x, y), used to locate any point on a coordinate plane.
Cartesian Coordinate Plane: composed of the x-axis (horizontal) and y-axis (vertical), which meet at the origin (0, 0) and divide the plane into four quandrants.

5. Relation; Domain; Range
Relation: is a set of ordered pairs.
Domain (of a relation): the set of all first coordinates (x-coordinates) from the ordered pairs.
Range (of a relation): the set of all second coordinates (y- coordinates) from the order pairs.
Relation:
{ (12, 28), (15, 30), (8, 20), (12, 20), (20, 50)}
Domain:
{8, 12, 15, 20}
Range:
{20, 28, 30, 50}

6. Function Functions can be represented as 𝑓 𝑥 or 𝑔 𝑥 .
When speaking, we say “F of x” or “G of x”.
A function is a special type of relation. Each element of the domain is paired with exactly one element of the range.
A mapping shows how the members are paired. An example is shown to the right.
The example to the right is a function; each element of the domain is paired with exactly one element of the domain. This is called a one-to-one function.
Relation:
{(12, 28), (15, 30), (8, 20)}
Domain Range 12 15 8 28 30 20

8. Relations: Discrete or Continuous?
Discrete graphs contain a set of
points not connected.
Continuous graphs contain a smooth line
or curve.
Note: You can draw the graph of a continuous relation
Without lifting you pencil from the paper.

9. Vertical Line Test
If no vertical line intersects a graph in more than one point, the graph represents a function.
If some vertical line intersects a graph in two or more points, the graph DOES NOT represent a function.

10. Graphing Relations See examples on pages 60 and 61 in your textbook.
When graphing, create a table of values.

11. Evaluate a function Given 𝑓 𝑥 = 𝑥 2 +2, find each value. f(-3)
𝑓 −3 = (−3) 2 +2
𝑓 −3 =9+2
𝑓 −3 =11
b. f(3z)
𝑓 𝑥 = 𝑥 2 +2
𝑓 3𝑧 = (3𝑧) 2 +2
𝑓 3𝑧 =9 𝑧 2 +2

Linear Equations

14. Section Objectives Identify linear equations and functions.
Write linear equations in standard form and graph them.

15. Identify Linear Equations and Functions
A linear equation has no operations other than addition, subtraction, and multiplication
of a variable by a constant. The variables may not be multiplied together or appear in a denominator.
It does not contain variables with exponents other than 1. The graph of a linear equation is
always a line.

23. Section 2.3
Slope

24. Objectives for Section 2.3
Find and use the slope of a line.
Graph parallel and perpendicular lines.

25. Vocabulary
A rate of change measures how much a quantity changes, on average, relative to the change in another quantity, often time.
The slope (m) of a line is the ratio of the change in y-coordinates to the corresponding change in x-coordinates.
The slope m of the line passing through ( 𝑥 1 , 𝑦 1 ) and ( 𝑥 2 , 𝑦 2 ) is given by
𝑚= 𝑦 2 − 𝑦 1 𝑥 2 − 𝑥 1 , where 𝑥 1 ≠ 𝑥 2

26. Find the slope of the line that passes through (-1, 4) and (1, -2)
Find the slope of the line that passes through (-1, 4) and (1, -2). Then graph the line.

27. Find the slope of the line that passes through (1, -3) and (3, 5)
Find the slope of the line that passes through (1, -3) and (3, 5). Then graph the line.

28. Slope – tells the direction in which it rises or falls.

29. Negative Slope

30. Zero slope

34. Family of graphs
A family of graphs is a group of graphs that displays one or more similar characteristics.
The parent graph is the simplest of the graphs in a family.
Parent: y = x
Family: y = 3x + 2
y = x + 2

35. Parallel Lines
In a plane, nonvertical lines with the same slope are parallel. All vertical lines are parallel.

36. Graph the line through (-1, 3) that is parallel to the line with equation 𝑥+4𝑦=−4.

37. Graph the line through (-2, 4) that is parallel to the line with equation 𝑥−3𝑦=3.

38. Perpendicular Lines
Two lines are perpendicular if the product of their slopes = −1.
When you have two perpendicular lines, their slopes are opposite reciprocals of each other.
Slope of line AB:
Slope of line CD:
C(-3,2)
A(2,1)
D(1,-4)
B(-4,-3)

39. Graph the line through (-3, 1) that is perpendicular to the line with equation 2𝑥+5𝑦=10.

40. Graph the line through (-6, 2) that is perpendicular to the line with equation 3𝑥−2𝑦=6.

Bivariate Data: data with two variables
Scatter Plot: a set of bivariate data graphed as ordered pairs in a coordinate plane.
This table shows the number of Calories burned per hour by a 140-pound person running at various speeds. We can use a linear function to model these data.
Scaffolding questions:
Will a person that weighs less than 140 pounds burn more or fewer calories per hour than shown in the table at the given speeds? Fewer
What is a reasonable estimate of the number of calories a 140-pound person burns in one hour running at a speed of 6.5 miles per hour? About 685 calories

56. Prediction Equations Line of Fit: Prediction Equation:
To find a line of fit and prediction equation:
Line of fit: when you find a line that closely approximates a set of data.
Prediction Equation: an equation of a line of best fit.
To find a line of fit and a prediction equation for a set of data, select two points that appear to represent the data well. Matter of personal judgment, so your line and prediction equation may be different from someone else’s.

57. Find and Use a Prediction Equation

59. Find a prediction equation. What do the slope and y-intercept indicate?
Slope formula: (187.6 – 140.0) / (8 – 2) = approx. 7.93
Pt-slope form y – = 7.93(x – 2) y = 7.93x – y = 7.93x
One prediction equation is this. The slope indicates that the median price is increasing at a rate of $7930 per year.
The y-intercept inidicates that, according to the trend of the rest of the data, the median price in 1994 should have been about 124,140.

60. Predict the median price in 2014.
How accurate does the prediction appear to be?
The year 2014 is 20 years after 1994, so use the prediction equation to find the value of y when x = 20.
Y = 7.93x
= 7.93(20) =
The model predicts that the median price in 2014 will be about $282,740.

61. PRACTICE
The table shows the mean selling price of new, privately owned one-family homes for some recent years. Draw a scatter plot and line of fit for the data. Then find a prediction equation and predict the mean price in 2014.
