Enter a set of data points, then derive a function to fit those points. Manipulate the function on a coordinate plane using slider bars. Learn how each constant and coefficient affects the resulting graph.

Plot ordered pairs on the graph, and they will be connected in the order that they are input. This enables you to decide how the pairs should be connected, rather than having the computer connect them from left to right.

Primary Subjects: Algebra, Geometry, Graphs, Statistics

Related Topics: cartesian coordinate, coordinate, coordinate plane, coordinate system, data plot, graph, lines, vertical line test

Plot a bivariate data set, determine the line of best fit for their data, and then check the accuracy of your line of best fit.

Graph ordered pairs and customize the graph title and axis labels. Points are connected from left to right, rather than being connected in the order they are entered.
