Suppose $A$ is a nonempty set and $R$ is an equivalence relation on $A$ . Show that there is a function $f$ with $A$ as its domain such that $(x,y) in R$ if and only if $f(x)=f(y)$

Let $equiv$ be an equivalence relation on the set $A$. Let $bar a = {bin Amid aequiv b}$ be the equivalence class of $ain A$. Take the quotient set $bar A = {bar amid ain A}$. Consider the mapping $f:Arightarrowbar A:amapsto bar a$ sending each element of $A$ to its equivalence class. Then for all $a,bin A$, $aequiv b$ iff $bar a = bar b$ iff $f(a)=f(b)$.
