Identify the quadrant in which a point is located. Given a relation in different formats (such as a set of (x, y) pairs, mapping diagram, or graph), determine whether the relation is a function. Be able to explain why you made your choice. Remember: a relation is a function if every input has one and only one (OAOO) output. Given a relation with a discrete domain, be able to find the range of the relation. Given a graph of a relation, be able to describe the domain and range in set builder notation. Be able to graph linear equations using the table of values method and the intercept method. Be prepared to write the x- and y-intercepts in (x, y) pair form.
