Enter your equation and graphing parameters into the calculator to visualize the graph.

Graphing Calculation Formula

The following steps outline how to graph an equation using the graphing calculator.

y = f(x)

Variables:

  • y is the dependent variable
  • x is the independent variable
  • f(x) is the function that describes the relationship between x and y

To graph the equation, input the function into the calculator, specify the range for the x-axis and y-axis, and then plot the points accordingly.
