How would you go about finding the values in each ordered pair from the graph?
Is It a Function? No Domain: {-2,1,2,3,4} Range: {2,3,-2,-1 }
Practice makes perfect
To find the x-coordinate of a point, we move vertically until we hit the x-axis. Similarly, to find the y-coordinate, we move horizontally until we hit the y-axis.
Now, let's list the ordered pairs that we found.
(-2,2),(1,2),( 2, 3),( 2, -2),(3,-1),(4,2)
The domain of a function is found by listing the relation's x-values. The range is found by listing the relation's y-values.
Domain:& {- 2,1,2,3,4 }
Range:& {2,3,-2,-1 }
Observing the list we can see that there are two different y-values for one x-value. Therefore, this relation is not a function.
