4About it
A graph turns an equation into a picture. For y = x², every x along the bottom gets a height y, and joining them draws a curve. René Descartes wrote about this kind of grid in 1637. Curves can be drawn other ways too: by distance and angle (polar), or by following a moving point over time.
Tap it and a pen draws the curve across the grid, humming a note that follows its height; then the a slider sweeps and the curve bends with it. Pick one of 42 famous curves in the Splash tab, or type your own: y = … with x, r = … with θ, or x = …, y = … with t. Put a in it to see it bend.
