Hint: Check if any x-value REPEATS with different y-values!
Button A1 → always chips
Button B2 → always water
✅ Each student ID # → one student name = FUNCTION
❌ One phone number → multiple people = NOT a function
"If a vertical line touches the graph more than once at any spot → NOT a function!"
Same y is OK! → {(1,5), (2,5), (3,5)} IS a function (each x is different)
| Month | Temp (°F) | Ice Cream Sales |
|---|---|---|
| Jan | 45 | 120 |
| Mar | 62 | 210 |
| May | 78 | 340 |
| Jul | 95 | 480 |
| Sep | 85 | 400 |
| Nov | 55 | 160 |
1. Press + → click "table"
2. Enter Temp as x, Sales as y
3. Click "Add regression"
4. Read: m = slope (how much sales change per degree)
As temp goes UP, sales go UP → POSITIVE association!
"If it's 95°F in July, trace UP to the trend line — how many ice cream sales?"
The regression equation lets you predict values you don't have!
| Games (x) | Total Points (y) |

1. Which set of ordered pairs represents a function?
2. A scatterplot shows that as the temperature in Dallas increases, water park attendance also increases. What type of association does this show?
