PARAMETRIC EQUATIONS Graphing Plane Curves (Page 1 of 12)

To graph the plane curve for a set of parametric equations, first change the calculator from function mode Func into parametric mode Par. For the examples that follow we will use radian mode, so be sure that Radian is selected also. The selection is made in the MODE window.

 MODE key. [Radian] ENTER key. [Par] ENTER key. Calculator screen image.
