Is a line with undefined slope the graph of a function?
This is not a function. To be a function, there must be a one to one relationship between the independent variable (usually represented by the horizontal or x axis) and the dependent variable (usually represented by the vertical or y axis). A line with undefined slope is a vertical line, so there are an infinite number of possibilities for y and only one possible value of x, so this is not a function.
What relations is NOT a functionan ascending linea descending linea horizontal line a vertical line?
a vertical line is not a function because the x-values repeat!
How do you write an equation for a function?
Y = X2 ===== This is a parabolic function because it passes the vertical line test. ( you should know what that test is )
Why does f represent the graph of a function?
Because each vertical lines meets its graph in a unique point.
Can a function have more than one y-intercept?
No. Use the vertical line test along the Y axis and if the line is crossed more than once, you know that it isn't a function.
What is the value measured by the vertical axis called?
The value of the Y-axis, which is normally expressed as a function Y=f(x), is called the dependent variable, because a change in the value of X (the independent variable) will produce a concurrent change in the value of Y.Independent variable.
The responding variable is displayed on what axis?
By convention, the variable that is changed (the independent variable) is displayed along the horizontal or x-axis. The variable that is measured (the dependent variable) is plotted along the vertical or y-axis. A responding variable is a dependent variable and would go along the y axis
How do you plot concentration against length in a graph?
It depends on which variable is independent, and which one is dependent (its value is determined by a function of the independent variable). So suppose that concentration is a function of an arbitrary length (the length is what determines concentration). The independent variable (length) is put on the horizontal axis, and the dependent variable (concentration) is put on the vertical axis.
What is the Value measured by the vertical axis?
It is the value of the variable which is plotted on the vertical axis. It is likely to be the dependent variable.
How do you recognize a function graph?
Assuming that the independent variable (often called "y") is along the vertical axis: to be a function, no vertical line may cross the graph in more than one place.
What is an independent variable in algebra?
The variable which is controlled.On a graph, the independent variable is on the x-axis (horizontal) and the dependent variable is on the y-axis (vertical).When we choose a value of x, the value of y depends on the x-value we chose.For instance, if we record the temperature every hour, time is the independent variable because we control the values. The temperature (which is measured) is the dependent variable because it depends on the time.
Where does the independent variable go a graph?
In principle, wherever you want. However, it is customary to place the independent variable on the horizontal axis, and the dependent variable on the vertical axis.
Where is the independent variable and the dependent variable on the line graph?
The dependent variable is on the vertical y axis and the independent on the horizontal x axis In the equation for example y = 3x then y is dependent on the independent variable x
Is a line with undefined slope the graph of a function?
This is not a function. To be a function, there must be a one to one relationship between the independent variable (usually represented by the horizontal or x axis) and the dependent variable (usually represented by the vertical or y axis). A line with undefined slope is a vertical line, so there are an infinite number of possibilities for y and only one possible value of x, so this is not a function.
What graph indicates that there is a linear relationship between the dependent variable and the independent variable.?
A straight line which is not vertical.
What do you graph on the vertical axis of a graph?
If you are graphing the results of an experiment, the dependent variable is on the vertical, or y-axis, and the independent variable is on the horizontal axis, or x-axis.
Is x on a coordinate plane vertical?
The independent variable, or the x-value, is horizontal.
