| 12. The name we use for a set of ordered pairs is a ___. | relation |
| 13. We often use the notation (x,y) to name a set of ordered pairs. The set containing all of the x's is called the ___. | domain |
| 14. We often use the notation (x,y) to name a set of ordered pairs. The set containing all of the y's is called the ___. | range |
| 15. A relation between two sets so that each member of the first set goes with exactly one member of the second set is called a ___. | function |
| 16. A function is a ___ between ___ ____ so that each member of the ___ corresponds to ___ ___ member of the ___. | relation, two sets, domain, exactly one, range |
| 17. We can determine whether a graph is that of a function by applying the Vertical Line Test. The graph is that of a function if ___. | every vertical line crosses the graph at most once |
| 18. The easiest way to show that a relation is not a function is to find one member of the ___ that goes with two members of the ___. | domain, range |
| 19. For a function f, f(a)=b means the point __ is a point on the graph. | (a,b) |

| 32. The point where a graph crosses the y-axis is called the ___ of the graph. | y-intercept |
