Finding a Function Rule from a Situation

4.4 - Graphing a Function Rule

Objective

To graph equations that represent functions.

Reminder

We can represent a function with an equation, with a table of values, with a graph, with a list of ordered pairs, or with words.

Essential Understanding

The set of all solutions to an equation forms the equation's graph. A graph may include solutions that don't appear in a table. A real-world graph should only show points that make sense in the given situation.
