Graphing Calculator

Type a function of x, like y = 2x + 1 or x^2 - 4, and see its graph. Drag to move, pinch or use the buttons to zoom, and tap the graph to trace a point.

Learn How it works

  • Lines y = mx + b: m is the slope (rise over run) and b is where the line crosses the y-axis.
  • Parabolas y = a(x − h)^2 + k: the vertex is (h, k). If a > 0 it opens up.
  • Zeros (x-intercepts) are where the graph crosses the x-axis, where y = 0.
  • Intersections of two graphs are the solutions to a system of equations.
