Mathematically, the '''graph of a [[function]]''' is the collection of all pairs ''x'', ''f(x)'' of the function.

In a technical rather than theoretical context, the term is usual used for a graphical representation of the function. This is formed by creating a [[Cartesian plaincoordinate system|Cartesian plane]], and on this marking all points ''(x,y)'' for which ''y=f(x)'' holds. For a [[continuous function]], this will result in some type of [[curve]].
