Since each value of the input is mapped to only one value of y, it is a function.
<h3>What are the domain and the range of a relation?</h3>
The domain of a relation is the set that contains all possible input values for the relation. In a graph, it is given by the values of x.
The range of a relation is the set that contains all possible output values for the relation. In a graph, it is given by the values of y.
Hence:
The domain of the relation is of -2 ≤ x ≤ -1.
The range of the relation is of -2 ≤ y ≤ 2.
<h3>When does a relation represents a function?</h3>
A relation represents a function when each value of the input is mapped to only one value of the output.
From this graph, we have that <u>each value of x is mapped to only one value of y</u>, that is, there are no vertically aligned points, hence the relation is a function.
