More about Relation

• Relation is generally represented by a Mapping diagram and graph.

Example of Relation

• The Mapping diagram of the Relation {(1, 2), (3, 6), (5, 10)} is shown below.

Solved Example on Relation

Choose a Graph that represents the Relation {(3, - 4), (5, - 4), (- 6, - 4), (2, 3)}.

Choices:
A. Graph 3
B. Graph 1
C. Graph 4
D. Graph 2
Correct Answer: D
Solution:
Step 1: Graph each Ordered Pair on a coordinate plane.
Step 2: The Graph that represents the Relation {(3, - 4), (5, - 4), (- 6, - 4), (2, 3)} is Graph 2.
