Creating and manipulating axes

When you add the Graphs & Geometry application to a page, Cartesian
axes displays by default.
You can change the appearance of your axes in the following ways:
1. Adjust the length of the axes:
• When using Plane Geometry mode with Show Analytic Window,
– Select an axis and retype the domain or range labels.
Using Graphs & Geometry
Graph Area
Adjustable; initially 1:1
Generic (displayed as u)
Cartesian (default) or
Polar
• Define and graph
functions to:
– Graph
functions of
the form f (x)
– Create scatter
plots
– Graph polar
equations
– Graph
parametric
functions
• Construct analytic
objects
• Label equations
• Identify
coordinates for
discrete points
Analytic constructions
must remain in the
analytic area.
Plane Geometry Area
Always 1:1 (static)
User-defined (per scale)
Euclidian
• Construct Euclidean
objects
• Create
transformations
• Determine
measurements (e.g.,
length, angle, area)
Geometric constructions
can be moved into the
analytic area but remain
geometric in nature.
