 NOTICE TO THE SCHOOLS

This learning module (LM) was developed by the Private Education Assistance
Committee under the GASTPE Program of the Department of Education. The learning
modules were written by the PEAC Junior High School (JHS) Trainers and were used as
exemplars either as a sample for presentation or for workshop purposes in the JHS In-
Service Training (INSET) program for teachers in private schools.

The LM is designed for online learning and can also be used for blended learning and
remote learning modalities. The year indicated on the cover of this LM refers to the year
when the LM was used as an exemplar in the JHS INSET and the year it was written or
revised. For instance, 2017 means the LM was written in SY 2016-2017 and was used in
the 2017 Summer JHS INSET. The quarter indicated on the cover refers to the quarter of
the current curriculum guide at the time the LM was written. The most recently revised
LMs were in 2018 and 2019.

The LM is also designed such that it encourages independent and self-regulated learning
among the students and develops their 21st century skills. It is written in such a way that
the teacher is communicating directly to the learner. Participants in the JHS INSET are
trained how to unpack the standards and competencies from the K-12 curriculum guides
to identify desired results and design standards-based assessment and instruction.
Hence, the teachers are trained how to write their own standards-based learning plan.

The parts or stages of this LM include Explore, Firm Up, Deepen and Transfer. It is
possible that some links or online resources in some parts of this LM may no longer be
available, thus, teachers are urged to provide alternative learning resources or reading
materials they deem fit for their students which are aligned with the standards and
competencies. Teachers are encouraged to write their own standards-based learning
plan or learning module with respect to attainment of their school’s vision and mission.

The learning modules developed by PEAC are aligned with the K to 12 Basic Education
Curriculum of the Department of Education. Public school teachers may also download
and use the learning modules.

Schools, teachers and students may reproduce the LM so long as such reproduction is
limited to (i) non-commercial, non-profit educational purposes; and to (ii) personal use or
a limited audience under the doctrine of fair use (Section 185, IP Code). They may also
share copies of the LM and customize the learning activities as they see fit so long as
these are done for non-commercial, non-profit educational purposes and limited to
personal use or to a limited audience and fall within the limits of fair use. This document

We have learned in the previous module that equations of the form Ax + By = C

are straight lines when graphed. Two equations of this form is called a system of
linear equations or a linear system.

A system of linear equations in two variables represents a pair of lines. The lines
intersect, are parallel or are coincident.

Parallel Lines Intersecting Lines Coincident Lines

Systems in which the lines intersect at precisely one point are called
independent systems.

Systems in which the lines are coincident are called dependent systems.

Systems in which lines are parallel are independent systems.

END OF FIRM - UP
We have seen in this section that graphs of linear systems indicates if
equations in the system have common values or have no common
values. You will use this information later to find and decide on the
solutions of the linear systems. In the next section you will deepen your

equations.

Your goal in this section is to take a closer look at how we can graph
systems of linear equations using another strategy.

END OF DEEPEN
In this section, you have gained knowledge and skills on graphing
systems of linear equations using point-plotting and the slopes and y-
intercept of each line in the system. You also have learned in the
activity above that linear equations can represent situations in real life.
Thus, linear equations can be a tool for problem solving and decision
making. You also learned that graphs are effective tools for verifying if
the equations in the given system have common point. These common
points are the values of the variables that makes equations in the
system true. These are common values are called the solutions of the
system of linear equations.

In this section, the discussion was about the types of systems of linear
equations and how they can be identified by graphing.

Now that you know the important ideas about this topic, let’s go deeper
by moving on to the next section.

The point of intersection is the
solution of the system of linear
equation.
If the graph of two linear
equation did not intersect, then
there is no solution to the
system.
If the graph of two or more
equations coincide, then there is
no solution.
Substitution is replacing one
variable to its equivalent value.
x + 2y = 11 is an equivalent
equation of x = 2y + 11
Given x = 2y – 6 and 4x + 6y = -4,
you can solve for y by
substituting the first equation to

Lesson 2: Rectangular Coordinate, Relations and Functions

MODULE INTRODUCTION AND FOCUS QUESTION(S):

Have you ever wondered how Meteorologists track storm and predict floods?
How do emergency Response Teams locate stranded motorist or guide
emergency vehicles? The ability to effectively identify and view the location
of typhoon survivors, victims of violence , fire, individual vehicles or boats,
and how their location relates to an entire network of transportation systems
in a geographic area, has resulted in a whole new way of doing business.
Location information coupled with automation has reduced delay in the
dispatch of emergency services. What if we have this kind of facility in our
country? In what way can it improve our ability to facilitate delivery of disaster
relief, public safety services and faster recovery for victims of global
tragedies?
How can you as students of mathematics contribute to the attainment of
these goals? How can your knowledge of mathematics help you understand
what it takes to attain these goals?

In Geometry, we describe points as a figure that denotes a location in space.

Positions of points are represented using the rectangular coordinate system.

What is the rectangular Coordinate System? What makes it so useful?

The Rectangular Coordinate System

The rectangular coordinate system, also known as Cartesian coordinate system,

can be used to plot points and graph lines. It is basically, a set of two number
lines perpendicular to each other at their zero values. The horizontal line is called
the x-axis and the vertical line is called the y-axis. The intersection of the x and
the y-axis is called the origin.

Questions to Answer:

1. How many quadrants are there in the Cartesian plane?

2. How do you describe the coordinates of points in quadrant I? Quadrant
II?, Quadrant III? , quadrant IV?
3. What is the contribution of rectangular coordinate system to the
development of mathematics?

The invention of rectangular coordinates revolutionized mathematics by providing

the first systematic link between geometry and algebra. Using the rectangular
coordinate system, geometric shapes such as circles can be described by
equations involving the coordinates of the points lying on the shape. For
example, a circle of radius 3 may be described as the set of all points whose
coordinates x and y satisfy the equation x2 + y2 = 9.

A point is represented by a pair of numbers (x, y). x stands for any value on the
x-axis and y stands for any value on the y-axis. An example of a point is (1, 5)
We call this pair of numbers as an ordered pair.

Developed by the Private Education Assistance Committee 97

under the GASTPE Program of the Department of Education
Ordered-Pair Numbers

An ordered-pair number is a pair of numbers that go together. The numbers are

written within a set of parentheses and separated by a comma.

How are ordered pairs plotted on the Cartesian plane?

Ordered pairs are plotted by locating the x-coordinate also known as abscissa of
the point and the y-coordinate or ordinate of the point. In the figure below point A
in x units away from the y-axis and y units away from the x-axis.

For example, (3,2) is an ordered-pair number; the order is designated by the first
element 3 and the second element 2.

The pair (2, 3) is not the same as (3, 2) because of the different ordering.

Now that you have a very good understanding of what ordered pairs are and how
they can be used to locate points in the rectangular or Cartesian plane , you can
now explore how ordered pairs can be used to describe relationships between
variables , find patterns, and represent this pattern mathematically, so that they
can be used to predict future relationships and solve problems. Discover how this
can be done as you continue to study this module.

Lesson 2.2: Relations

In many situations in real life, two variables may be linked by some type of
relationship. Some of these relationships cannot be expressed numerically, but
many can be. We will see this in the next activities.

ACTIVITY 8. Relations in Action

 12. Are ther other ways of
representing the the set of data?
How?

The pairing of the donor’s number and his corresponding donation is a relation.

What is a relation?

A relation is any set of ordered-pair numbers. The first elements in the ordered
pairs (the x-values), form the domain. The second elements in the ordered pairs
(the y-values), form the range. Only the elements "used" by the relation
constitute the range.

How can relations be used to model relationships between variables?

What factors or circumstances did you consider in defining the domain and the
range of these relations? What are these?

How can relations be described?

Relations may be defined by several different methods: by listing ordered pair ,

by a correspondence or mapping , by graph or by equation

A. A relation may be defined as a set of ordered pairs.

Examples:

1. A = {(0,1), (2,3),4,6),(8,10)}
2. B = {0,2), (3, 11), 4, 18)}

B. A relation may be defined as a correspondence .

For example, the relation can be represented as:

Mapping Diagram of Relation

A mapping diagram consists of two parallel columns. The first column represents
the domain of a relation , and the other column for its range. Lines or arrows are
drawn from domain to range, to represent the relation between any two
elements.

C. A relation may be defined by a graph.

This relation is the set of ordered pairs : {(0,15), (10,15), (-10,5), (0,40), (-10,-
15)}.

D. A relation may be expressed by an equation such as y = 2x +3 where x is a
real number. The solution to this equation define an infinite set of ordered pairs
of the form {(x,y)/ y=2x+3}

{(x,y)} = {(-2, -1), (-1, 1), (0,3), (1, 5),…}

In the relations defined by the equation y = x2 , where x={ -2, 3,4,5), the set of
ordered pairs is { (-2,4), (-3,9), (4, 16), (5, 25)}. The range of this relations is a
set of integers { 4,9,16,25}

 The equations in the examples are known as mathematical models. How can
mathematical models be used to solve problems involving relations

two variables?” Are you confident with your answer? If not, What else do you
need to know to answer this question? Post your answers to these questions in
the discussion forum

In the next lesson you will learn more about relations. These are the type of
relations that are very useful in real life situations.

Lesson 2.3: Functions

Let us now study a special type of relations called functions. We start by

considering function machines that we used in real life before we focus on
mathematical functions.

Example 1. Look at the machine below.

Can you tell the function of this
machine? What can be the input ?

What is the output?

Example 2.

This is a multi-function fruit juice vending machine.

Can you tell the operations done by this machine?
What can be an input in this machine? What is the
output?

There are many math functions that are very useful in real life. Like any machine,
the output is highly dependent on the input. Math functions are special types of
relations.

Functions are mathematical building blocks for designing machines, predicting

natural disasters, curing diseases, understanding world economies and for
keeping airplanes in the air. Functions can take input from many variables, but
always give the same output, unique to that function. Functions are mathematical
models. How these models be used to solve problems involving relations
between two variables?

Try to answer this question as you deepen your knowledge about functions.
What are examples of functions in real life?

Some examples of functions include:

1. A cost as a function of the number of items.

2. Revenue or gross proceeds as a function of number of items sold at a
given price.
3. Profit as a function of revenue and cost of items.

In function, the variable is known as the input or independent variable, because

its value can be chosen freely. The calculated variable is known as the output or

Developed by the Private Education Assistance Committee 110

under the GASTPE Program of the Department of Education
dependent variable, because its value depends on the chosen input value. We
will see this in the next activity.

Function Machine

A function can be thought of as a mathematical machine. You feed the machine

an input, it does a calculations on it, and the gives you back another value which
is the result of the calculations.

Let’s have an example:

Input (x) = {2,4,6,8}

x
Input (x) =
{2,4,6,8}

Multiply by 2 Output (y) = {4,8,12,16}

y

2x2=4
4x2=8
6x2=
12
8x2=
The function machine multiplies the16 inputted value by 2, that is y = 2x. You see
that the function rule can be express in the form of an equation. This allows us
to predict the value of the function for any other input.

Definition of function

A function or a mapping from A to B , denoted by f:A → B is a relation from A

to B in which every element from A appears exactly once as the first component
of an ordered pair in the relation.

A function in which each element of the range is paired with exactly one element
of the domain is called one-to-one mapping.

When the second element of the range associates with more than
one element in the domain or the element(s) in range that have
mapped more than one element in the domain is called many-to-
one mapping. One-to-many relations is not a function.

3. Since functions are relations, they can also be expressed as a set of

ordered pairs using tables and graphs.

Example: The set {(1,2), (3,4), (5,6)}

Can you explain why this relation is a function?

Definition:

A function is a set of ordered pairs of numbers (x,y) , in which no two

distinct ordered pairs have the same first number. The set of all admissible
values of x is called the domain of the function , and the set of all resulting
values of y is called the range of the function. Because values are
assigned to x and because the value of y is dependent on the choice of x,
x is the independent variable and y is the dependent variable.

4. Functions can also be expressed as a rule that tells how to determine the
dependent variable for a specific value of the independent variable. The
rule may be expressed in words such as : “y is three more than twice x”.
However, usually the rule is an equation such as y = 2x + 3.

Can you tell which of the following equations represent a function for any real
value of x? Why?

a. {(x,y)/ y= 3x2 -2)

b. {(x,y) / x=y2)
c. {(x,y)/ = x

Gives a video on making a table from function rule.

Functional Notation

Developed by the Private Education Assistance Committee 117

under the GASTPE Program of the Department of Education
We use functional notation to denote functions. The notation f(x) [read f of x] is
used to name a second variable. So, the function defined by y = 3x + 2 is written
as f(x) = 3x + 2 or g(x) = 3x + 2. Any letter may be used. This notation indicates
that f or g is a function of the variable x, which means that it can be expressed in
terms of x.

The Domain and the Range

Just like relations, the set of all values for the independent variable (x) is
the domain, and the set of all values for the dependent variable is the range.
Most of the functions are defined for all real numbers. This domain is denoted .

Example1. f (x) = 2x + 5

Domain is the set of real numbers , because f (x) is defined for all
real numbers x ; that is, we can find f (x) for all real numbers x . The range is also
the set of real numbers  such that f(x) = 2x +5. Some of the elements of the set
are given below.

Domain = {x/x} = {-2, -1.5, 0, 2, 2.3,…}

Range = {f(x)/f(x) = 2x+5, F(x) } = {-1, 2, 5, 7, 9, …}

Example 2. f (x) = x2–6

Domain = { x/x}

Range = {y=f(x)/f (x) = x2–6 }

Example 3. f ( x)  x

Domain = {x/ x/ x≥0}

This is because we cannot take the square root of a negative number. The range
is the set of positive numbers and zero.

x2
Example 4. f ( x) 
x

Domain = {x/x≠0, x}

This is because we cannot divide by zero.

END OF FIRM - UP
You have seen in this section that functions describe situations where
one quantity determines another. Because of this, functions are
frequently used in modeling. How can mathematical models be used
to solve problems involving relations between two variables?

quantitative relationships. These models will help you describe trends,
predict values and solve problem accurately.

In to the question “How can mathematical models be used to solve
problems involving relations between two variables? “ will become
clearer to you after finishing this section.

Evaluation of Functions

How are values of functions determined? To find the value of the function, replace
each x with the given value and do the indicated operations.

Example:
Given f(x) = 5x + 2, what is the value of the function when x = 2 or f(2)?
Solution: Replace each x with the value 2. Thus, f(2) = 5(2) +3 = 10+ 2 = 12

ACTIVITY 18. What’s My Value?

Complete the table by finding the value of each function for the given value
of x.

Function F(-3) F(0) F(2) F(3/2) F(0.6) F(1.2)

1. F(x) = 7x -12
2. F(x) = 1/2x + 6
3. F(x) =x2 +1
4. F(x) = 3x2 – 5x+2

The value of x may be determined by replacing f(x) by the given value, then
solve for x.

Example 1. f(x) = 3x -5, what is x when f(x) is 19?

By replacing the value of f(x), equation becomes

19 = 3x -5

Solving for x,

Graph of a Function

Functions also allow us to visualize relationships in terms of graphs, which are

much easier to read and interpret than lists of numbers. This can be done by
plotting the ordered pairs on the rectangular coordinate system.

The graph of a function f is the set of all points (x,y) in rectangular plane for
which (x,y) is an ordered pair in f.

Example 1:

, Domain={x/x}

Developed by the Private Education Assistance Committee 121

under the GASTPE Program of the Department of Education
Compute for f(x) for some specific value of x.

x -1 0 1 2 3
y 1/3 1 1 2/3 2 1/3 3

3. , Domain ={x/x}

x -2 -1 0 1 2
y 6 3 2 3 6

4. , Domain ={x/x≥1,x}

Another way of writing this function is

. Note that only x≥1 can be a possible

value for x. Why?

The Vertical Line Tests for Graphs

To determine whether y is a function of x , given a graph of a relation, use

the following criterion: if every vertical line you can draw goes through only
1 point, y is a function of x . If you can draw a vertical line that goes
through 2 points, y is not a function of x . This is called the vertical line
test.

The difference between expressions and equations is what each represents. An
expression shows a math relationship. One key to an expression is that there is
no solution, and, therefore, it has no answer.

An expression, however, can be “evaluated.” To evaluate an expression,

substitute values for the variables. The evaluation changes if you substitute
different numbers in for the variables. In this way, expressions can be
simplified. This is how we get numbers from expressions.

Both use numbers and variables; however, it is all based on the arrangement.
So, let's take look at both to determine their use and relationship. An expression
is a combination of numbers, variables, and symbols to be calculated, while an
equation contains expressions that are separated by an equals sign.

ACTIVITY 5. WATCH AND LEARN.

Watch the video clip by clicking on the hyperlink below on how to model linear
inequalities in two variables. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cCMpin3Te4s

An inequality is really just any mathematical statement relating two quantities

using an inequality symbol such as <, >, ≤, or ≥. For inequalities that contain
variable expressions, you may be asked to solve the inequality for that variable.

A linear inequality in two variables can also be written in one of the four forms:

This just means that you need to find the values of the variable that make the
inequality true. Remember that when you solve a linear equation there is usually
one value that makes the equation true. But when you solve an inequality, there
can be many values that make the statement true!

Consider a linear equation for instance, 3x + 4y = 1. If in this equation, the

equality symbol = is replaced by an inequality symbol such as ≤, ≥, <, or >, the
resulting statement is called a linear inequality in two variables.

An ordered pair of numbers is called a solution of a linear inequality in two

variables if the numbers satisfy the inequality.

Example 1

Determine if the ordered pair (1, 2) is a solution of the linear inequality 2x + 3y <
12.

Solution:

Substitute 1 for x and 2 for y in the inequality 2x + 3y < 12. Check if the resulting
inequality is true.

Developed by the Private Education Assistance Committee 159

under the GASTPE Program of the Department of Education
Since the resulting inequality is true, the ordered pair is (1, 2) is a solution of 2x +
3y < 12 .

Example 2

Determine if the points (3,4), (0,0) and (2,0) are solutions of the inequality 2x + 3y
< 12.

Solution:

To determine if a given point is a solution of an inequality or not, substitute the

coordinates in the inequality. Then apply the Law of Trichotomy.

If 2x + 3y < 12, and x = 3 and y = 4

FALSE

Thus, (3,4) is not a solution of 2x + 3y < 12.

If 2x + 3y < 12 and x = 0 and y = 0

TRUE

Thus, (2,0) is a solution of 2x + 3y < 12.

If 2x + 3y < 12 and x = 2 and y = 0

FALSE

Thus, (2,0) is not a solution of 2x + 3y < 12.

Example 3
Determine whether the following are solutions of the linear inequality
.

Solution:

Developed by the Private Education Assistance Committee 160

under the GASTPE Program of the Department of Education
 1. Replace x with 4 and y with 6 in the linear inequality.

Conclusion: is false. (4, 6) is not a solution.

2. Replace x with 2 and y with -4 in the linear inequality.

Conclusion: is true. (2, -4) is a solution.

3. Replace x with 9 and y with 0 in the linear inequality.

Conclusion: is true. (9, 0) is a solution.

ACTIVITY 9. INVESTIGATE (Scaffold Level 1 – Directed Prompt)

You as a student will write to the School Publication about the TechNo Editorials.
This month’s column is going to be on the 32gig iPad 3. Someone wrote in to
your column and attached a printout from a gadget magazine that claimed that
the 32 GB iPad 3 has “32 GB capacity for 14,000 songs or 120 hours of video.”
This seemed interesting to you so you decided to investigate.

You found this information:

A. Downloading songs on iTunes: Each song costs 25.00
B. Downloading movies on iTunes: Each movie costs 75.00 and takes up
approximately 1.75 GB

A. iPad 3

16 GB – 17, 800
32 GB – 24, 000

B. iPad 2

8 GB – 12, 200
16 GB - 16, 600

You also did some research and found that 1,024 MB = 1 GB.
You need to present a table showing the different sets of music and videos in the
models of the iPad’ s with their corresponding prices and totals.

For each of the following questions, be sure to define the variables you used in
each question and show your work.
1. If the website’s claim for the songs is accurate, how large (in MB) is the
average song? How does this compare to the data you found?
2. It seems reasonable that the length (L) of a song is related to its size in MB
(S). That is, the longer a song, the larger its size in MB should be. Use the
website information from question #2, or another site you find, to develop a
formula that relates L and S.
3. Assuming you can fit 14,000 songs on the 32 GB iPad3 how much would it
cost to buy it and fill it with songs? Justify your answer.

Solution:
14,000 songs x P25.00 = P350, 000 worth of songs + P24, 000 amount of
Ipad 3.

In this section, the discussion was about the characteristics

of the graphs of linear inequalities in two variables and how
the graph is sketched. You also learned that real-life
situations involve linear inequalities.

Go back to the previous section and compare your initial

ideas with the discussion. How much of your initial ideas are found in

answer this question:
How useful are linear inequalities in two variables in solving real-
life problems?

D. Focus: Modeling Real-Life Situations

ACTIVITY 6. MODEL IT!

You already understand about solutions of linear inequalities in two variables and
their graphs now you will deepen your understanding by analyzing the examples
on modeling and graphing with linear inequality below:

1. A retailer sells two types of coffee beans. One type costs $9 per pound
and the other type costs $7 per pound. Find all the possible amounts of
the two different coffee beans that can be mixed together to get a quantity
of coffee beans costing $8.50 or less.

Developed by the Private Education Assistance Committee 176

under the GASTPE Program of the Department of Education
Solution

Let weight of $9 per pound coffee beans in pounds.

Let weight of $7 per pound coffee beans in pounds.

The cost of a pound of coffee blend is given by .

We are looking for the mixtures that cost $8.50 or less. We write the inequality
model .

Since this inequality is in standard form, its easiest to graph it by finding the
and intercepts. When , we have or . When
, we have or . We can then graph the line that
includes those two points.

Notice also that in this graph we show only the first quadrant of the coordinate
plane. That's because weight values in the real world are always nonnegative, so

Developed by the Private Education Assistance Committee 177

under the GASTPE Program of the Department of Education
points outside the first quadrant don’t represent real-world solutions to this
problem.

2. Julius has a job as an appliance salesman. He earns a commission of $60

for each washing machine he sells and $130 for each refrigerator he sells.
How many washing machines and refrigerators must Julius sell in order to
make $1000 or more in commissions?

Solution

Let number of washing machines Julius sells.

Let number of refrigerators Julius sells.

The total commission is .

Were looking for a total commission of $1000 or more, so we write the inequality
.

Once again, we can do this most easily by finding the and intercepts.
When , we have , or . When , we have
, or .

We draw a solid line connecting those points, and shade above the line because
the inequality is greater than. We can check this by plugging in the point (0, 0):
selling 0 washing machines and 0 refrigerators would give Julius a commission of
$0, which is not greater than or equal to $1000, so the point (0, 0) is not part of
the solution; instead, we want to shade the side of the line that does not include
it.

Developed by the Private Education Assistance Committee 178

under the GASTPE Program of the Department of Education
Notice also that we show only the first quadrant of the coordinate plane, because
Julius commission should be nonnegative.
