Exercise 2 Page 267

Exchange the x- and y-coordinates in each ordered pair.

{(11.8,-3), (3.7,0), (1,1), (-12.5,6)}

Practice makes perfect

We can interpret the given table as a set of ordered pairs.

x y Ordered Pair
-3 11.8 (-3,11.8)
0 3.7 (0,3.7)
1 1 (1,1)
6 -12.5 (6,-12.5)
To find the inverse of a relation written as coordinate pairs, we exchange the x- and y-coordinates of each ordered pair.

Given Point Inverse Point
( -3, 11.8) ( 11.8, -3)
( 0, 3.7) ( 3.7, 0)
( 1, 1) ( 1, 1)
( 6, -12.5) ( -12.5, 6)

Let's write the inverse relation as a data set. {(11.8,-3), (3.7,0), (1,1), (-12.5,6)}
