Lesson 2-1: Relations and Functions Date:
Example 1: Domain and Range
State the domain and range of the relation. Then determine whether the relation is a function. If it is a
function, determine if it is one-to-one, onto, both, or neither.

A relation in which the domain is a set of individual points is said to be a relation.
When the domain of a relation has an infinite number of elements and can be graphed with a line or
smooth curve, the relation is a relation.

TRANSPORTATION The table shows the average fuel efficiency in miles per gallon for SUVs for several
years. Graph this information and determine whether it represents a function. Is this relation discrete or
continuous?
Example 3: Graph a Relation
Graph 𝑦 = 3𝑥 – 1 and determine the domain and range. Then determine whether the equation is a

Lesson 2-2: Linear Relations and Functions Date:
Relations that have straight line graphs are called relations.
Relations that are not linear are called relations.
A function is a function that can be written in the form 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑚𝑥 + 𝑏,
where 𝑚 and 𝑏 are real numbers.
Example 1: Identify Linear Functions
A. State whether 𝑔(𝑥) = 2𝑥 – 5 is a linear function. Write yes or no. Explain.
B. State whether 𝑝(𝑥) = 𝑥3 + 2 is a linear function. Write yes or no. Explain.
