Hi, how can I graph a parallel line to y (so in the form x=n)?

Thanks

Hi lordb,

In normal FUNCTION graphing mode, you can't graph a line in terms of x. However, in PARAMETRIC mode ([MODE] -> Expand dropdown, select PARAMETRIC), you can graph in terms of either x or y. In parametric mode, you graph x and y in terms of a third variable t. So for instance, a graph in the form of x=n, would look like

Code:

xt1 = n
yt1 = t



You can also graph a function in the form of y = f(x) in parametric mode by using the following:

Code:

xt2 = t
yt2 = f(x) [some function in terms of x]



That way you can combine and display multiple functions on the same screen, some in terms of y, and some in terms of x.

Hope this helps!

Regards,
