Flashcards

Cartesian Coordinate Plane

A plane formed by two perpendicular number lines, called the x-axis and y-axis, used to graph points using coordinates.

Ordered Pair

A set of two numbers, written in a specific order (x, y).

Linear Equation (Standard Form)

An equation that produces a straight line when graphed, expressed in the form: ax + by = c, where a, b, and c are numbers, and x and y are variables.

Relation (Math)

A set of ordered pairs that may map more than one element in a domain to a single element in the range, indicating how values in a domain relate to values in a range.

Function (Math)

A specific type of relation where each element in the domain (x) is associated with precisely one element in the range (y).

Study Notes

Cartesian Coordinate Plane

  • Descartes combined algebra and geometry.
  • Ordered pairs (x, y) define points.
  • X is the abscissa, Y is the ordinate.
  • Standard linear equation form: ax + by = c, where a and b are not zero and exponents are one.

Linear Equations

  • Solutions to linear equations in two variables can be represented as y = x + 2.
  • A relation is a set of ordered pairs.
  • Domain (x) is the set of all first coordinates.
  • Range (y) is the set of all second coordinates.

Representing Relations

  • Relations can be shown in three ways:
    • Tables of values
    • Mapping diagrams
    • Graphs

Types of Relations

  • One-to-one relation: Each domain value pairs with a unique range value.
  • One-to-many relation: Domain values can repeat.
  • Many-to-one relation: Range values can repeat.

Functions

  • A function is a rule that pairs each domain element with exactly one range element.
  • Domain values cannot repeat in a function.

Slopes of Lines

  • Slope describes the direction of a line.
  • Positive slope: Line goes up from left to right.
  • Negative slope: Line goes down from left to right.
  • Zero slope: Line is horizontal.
  • Undefined slope: Line is vertical.
