Alg. Geom. Regular function confusion

So in class today the lecturer gave a regular map on the set V(s_{1}s_{2}-s_{0}^2) in projective 2-space to projective 1-space by \phi = (s_{0}:s_{1})=(s_{2}:s_{0}).
I'm confused. Is that another representation of the "function"? (Meaning they map to the same point classes?) or is it an alternate description on where the other is non defined?
I mean, it can't be the first option, since if the s_{0}=0 then the other two must be zero, but there is no such point in projective space.
But, I just want to make sure it really is the other option and not be something else I missed.

this makes no sense. your input point is not a point of P^2.
 
?? \phi takes a point (s_{0}:s_{1}:s_{2}) to (s_{0}:s_{1}) and/or (s_{2}:s_{0})
 
Hello! There is a simple line in the textbook. If ##S## is a manifold, an injectively immersed submanifold ##M## of ##S## is embedded if and only if ##M## is locally closed in ##S##. Recall the definition. M is locally closed if for each point ##x\in M## there open ##U\subset S## such that ##M\cap U## is closed in ##U##. Embedding to injective immesion is simple. The opposite direction is hard. Suppose I have ##N## as source manifold and ##f:N\rightarrow S## is the injective...
