Relationship between two variables
This lesson will teach us the basic concepts of relationship between two quantities in the coordinate system. For instances, is y a dependent variable or independent variable? What is domain and range? What is an ordered pair? What is quadrant? And how do we plot points on a graph?

Coordinate System : A presentation of a real number by points on the real number line using an order pair.
Order pairs: A point ( x , y ) on the coordinate plane. Eg. (-3,5), (0,5)…
Origin: The intersection of x-axis and y-axis →(0,0)
Relations: Sets of ordered pairs ( x , y )
Domain: All the x-values on the coordinate system
Range: All the y-values on the coordinate system
Independent Variable: The "x" values, which are also known as the inputs when solving for a solution.
Dependent Variable: The "y" values, which are also known as the outputs when solving for a solution.

- 1.Understanding the difference between X & Ya)
- 2.Express the relation using mapping notation and ordered pairs.a)x = { -5 , -3 , -1 , 1 , 3 }
y = { 2 , 4 , 6 , 10 , 12 }b)x = { -4 , -2 , 0 , 2 , 4 }
y = { 3 , 3 , 3 , 3 , 3 }c)(1,3) , (2,2) , (3,1) - 3.Indicate the quadrant of the following points.a)(5, -3) (-3, 4) (-4, -3) (2, -6)
