Exercise 1
Q 1. Give brief answers to the following questions:

i) How can you write an equation of a line if you know the coordinates of two
points on the line? The line’s slope and the y-intercept?
ii) What are the standard equations for the lines perpendicular to the a) x-axis,
b) y-axis?
iii) What is a function? What is its domain? Its range? Its graph? What is the
vertical line test?
iv) What is an even function? An odd function? Give examples.

Q 2. Graph the following real valued functions:

i) y = 2x + 4,
ii) y = x2 ,
iii) y = 2x3 ,
iv) y = | x |,
