Representing Relations
Page 256
Key Terms
Relation – a rule that associates the elements of one set with the elements of another set (a set of ordered pairs).
Set – a collection of distinct objects
Element – One distinct object in a set.
For example {2, 4, 6, 8} = a set of natural even numbers with elements 2, 4, 6, and 8.
When we represent relations using numbers, a relation is a set of ordered pairs. The elements in the relation are
the numbers that represent specific coordinate points on a Cartesian plane.
For example {(2,4), (4,8), (6,12)} is a relation.
Relations can be represented in a number of ways:
1. Table of Values
2. Graphs
3. Arrow Diagrams (mapping diagram)
4. Equations
5. In Words (description)
Example #1 – Represent the following relation in 5 different ways:
{(1,3), (2,4), (3,5)}

When the elements of either one or both sets in a relation are numbers, the relation can be represented as a bar
graph as well (not always line graphs).
Ex. #5

Vancouver. Consider the relation represented by the following graph.

Relation vs. Function
Recall: A relation is a set of ordered pairs. A relation produces one or more output numbers for every valid
input number.
Ex. {(-2, 3), (3, 4), (4, 7), (-2, 6)}
Notice that we get 2 different output numbers for an input of -2. (3 and 6)
A function is also a set of ordered pairs, however, for every valid input number, there is only ONE output
number.
Ex. {(0, 2), (2, 6), (3, 8), (4, 10)
In order to determine if a graph is a relation that is NOT a function, or whether it is in fact a function, we can
use what we call the “Vertical Line Test”. This means that if we draw a vertical line anywhere on the graph,
and 2 or more points on the graph are touching (lie on) that line, then the graph is NOT a function.

Interpreting and Sketching Graphs
Page 264
Many times when interpreting graphs, we imagine that our x and y axes represent some specific everyday
variables. These variables are known as dependent and independent variables.
Dependent Variable
 the variable whose value is dependent upon or determined by another variable.
 the variable that is ALWAYS on the y-axis!
** Common dependent variables include distance, speed, height, and temperature.
Independent Variable
 in a relation, the variable whose value may be freely chosen and upon which the value(s) of the other
variable depend.
 the variable that is ALWAYS on the x-axis!
** The most common independent variable used in mathematics and science is TIME.

Vertical Line Test for a Function:
 A graph represents a function when no two points on the graph lie on the same vertical line.
Domain
 The set of the first elements in a certain number of specific ordered pairs of a relation
** Domain ALWAYS refers to the x coordinates of ordered pairs**
Range
 The set of the second elements in a certain number of specific ordered pairs of a relation.
** Range ALWAYS refers to the y coordinates of ordered pairs**
Example #1
For each relation below:
 Determine whether the relation is a function.
 Identify the domain and range of each relations that is a function

Graphing
A scatterplot is the result plotting data on a Cartesian (coordinate) plane that can be represented as ordered
pairs.
When graphing, if the domain and range are only “elements” of the graph, we DO NOT connect the points on
the graph. If the domain or range is all the real numbers (𝑅), then we connect the points and draw arrows at
both ends of the line.
For example: {(2,5), (4,7), (5,9), (9,12)} --- We would NOT connect the points
y = 3x + 1 --- We would connect the points (since x could represent any Real number)
Example #2
Graph the equation y = 3x + 1 for the domain {-1, 0, 1, 2, 3}, and for the domain of the Real numbers (R).
** Need to set up a Table of Values**
x
3x+1
D: {-1, 0, 1, 2, 3}
y
(x, y)
D: Real Numbers

Math 10 C (AP)

Graph the equation y = x + 4 for the domain {-3, -2, -1, 0, 1}, and for the domain of the Real numbers (R).
x
x+4
y

D: {-3, -2, -1, 0, 1}
D: Real Numbers
Discrete vs. Continuous
Discrete Graph
 A graph that is a series of separate points
 The points are NOT connected on the graph
Continuous Graph
 A line graph in which the line in unbroken
 The points on the graph ARE connected
In the above example, the first graph is discrete (D: {-3, -2, -1, 0, 1}) and the second graph is continuous (D:
Real Numbers).
For example: “If I leave here at Noon and drive to Calgary, I arrive at 3:00pm. Where was I at 1:30pm? Did I
get straight to Red Deer? No.” I was driving for the duration of time in between, therefore this is continuous
(time is continuous) because at any specific time I was at a specific point on the journey.
“If I count the number of students I talk to during the day…I talk to one…then two…etc. Can I talk to 4.23
students? No.” There is no in between…therefore, this is discrete.

Lesson 5.6 ~ Properties of Linear Relations
Review
When 80 is simplified using the form a b , what is the numerical value of the radicand?
Page 300
Function notation is a short form version of representing an equation.
For example:
In x and y notation:
𝑦 = 3𝑥 + 4
In function notation: 𝑓(𝑥) = 3𝑥 + 4
“f of x”
In function notation f names a function. We say “f of x” because it is the value of the function at point x = ___.
In function notation, we use substitution to solve the values of the function given a particular x value.
Example #1
If 𝑓(𝑥) = 3𝑥 + 4, find f(3), f(0), and f(-10).
Example #2
If 𝑔(𝑥) = 3𝑥 2 − 2, find:
g(2)
The value of x if g(x) = 25

In order to graph linear equations, all we need to do is find 2 points on the graph and connect them with a
straight edge. There are various methods we can use to determine 2 points on a graph. We will use the various
methods in the following examples.
Example #1
Graph 𝑦 = 3𝑥 − 4, x 
Table of Values
ordered pairs
x
y
(x, y)
f(x)
Since x  , then we must either draw arrows on the ends of ours graphs, or make sure the line (graph)
is drawn to the end of grid that you are graphing on.
x – intercept(s)
 This is the point where the function or relation crosses the x-axis.
 Can also be referred to as the horizontal intercept
 y is always equal to zero. 𝒚 = 𝟎
y – intercept(s)
 This is the point where the function or relation crosses the y-axis.
 Can also be referred to as the vertical intercept.
 x is always equal to zero. 𝒙 = 𝟎
You can graph a function using just the x and y intercepts.
In order to find the x and y intercepts of a linear equation, simply let the opposite variable equal zero (0) in the
equation, and solve for the remaining variable.

Math 10 C (AP)
Example #7
The cost for a car rental is $60, plus $20 for every 100km driven. The independent variable is the distance
driven and the dependent variable is the cost. We can identify that this is a linear relation in different ways.

Create a Table of Values:
Distance (km)

Cost ($)
Graph the data labeling the independent and dependent
variables.
For a linear relation, a constant change in the independent variable results in a constant change in the dependent
variable.
We can see these patterns using table of values, ordered pairs or graphs.
What characteristics can you see in the graph of a linear relation?
We can use each representation to calculate the rate of change. The rate of change can be expressed as a
fraction:
𝒄𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒈𝒆 𝒊𝒏 𝒅𝒆𝒑𝒆𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝒗𝒂𝒓𝒊𝒂𝒃𝒍𝒆
$𝟐𝟎
=
= $𝟎. 𝟐𝟎/𝒌𝒎
𝒄𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒈𝒆 𝒊𝒏 𝒊𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒑𝒆𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝒗𝒂𝒓𝒊𝒂𝒃𝒍𝒆 𝟏𝟎𝟎𝒌𝒎
The rate of change is $0.20/km. For each additional 1km driven, the rental cost increases by 20 cents. The rate
of change is constant for a linear relation.
We can determine the rate of change and y-intercept for a linear function and from those, we can find the
equation that represents the function.

Write an equation for this linear relation:
