While all linear

equations produce straight

Function
all linear
equations produce linear
functions.
 Objectives:
1. To determine if a relation is a function
2. To find the domain and range of a function
3. To evaluate functions
What is the difference between linear function and
equation ?
A mathematical relation is the pairing up
(mapping) of inputs and outputs.

• Domain: the set of all input values (x)

• Range: the set of all output values (y)

1)Verbally

by a sentence that describes how the input variable

is related to the output variable.

2) Numerically
by a table or a list of ordered pairs that matches
input values with output values

3) Graphically

4) Algebraically by an equation in two variables

• Given a graph, you can determine whether it
is a function or not by doing the vertical line
test.
• It’s NOT a function if the vertical line
intersects the graph at more than one point
A relation is a function if no vertical line
intersects the graph of the relation at more
than one point

If it does, then
an input
has more
than one
output.

Determine whether the relation represents y as a
function of x.
To determine if an equation represents a
function, try solving the thing for y.
• Make sure that there is only one value of y for
every value of x.
Determine whether the equation represents y as a
function of x.
