How to Identify Graphs of Basic Functions
A graph of a function is a visual representation of the relationship between the inputs and outputs of that function. It’s depicted on a coordinate system, commonly referred to as the Cartesian plane, which consists of two perpendicular number lines: the \(x\)-axis (horizontal) and the \(y\)-axis (vertical).
How to Show the Relation in the Coordinate Plane
Showing a relation in the coordinate plane usually means graphing a set of ordered pairs or an equation. The coordinate plane, commonly known as the Cartesian plane, is a two-dimensional surface consisting of the \(x\)-axis and the \(y\)-axis.
