you can sign into it by following Steps 1 3,

Once youre into desmos, youll see a page that looks like this:
Click here to open
an existing graph

Click here to save

the graph youre
working on

This will be
your name or
email address

Click here to print

your graph and
equations

Click here to
change window
settings

You can start entering equations right away!

Click here and start typing. Youll get the
triangle/exclamation point symbol until
youve entered something that is valid.

Now that you have something thats

valid, the graph can be seen and you
get the round symbol you see here,
instead of the warning symbol you
had before.

You can specify the domain (or range) by using

curly braces after your equation and inserting an
expression like {2 <= x <= 1}.
Note that you can type a < followed by an = and
desmos will put in a sign for you. And look!
The line has turned into a line segment!

Enter more equations! Save your graph!

Create space for a new equation by either
hitting Enter/Return while your cursor is in an
existing equation, or by clicking on the Plus
sign.

If you click on the Plus sign,

youll get this selection list. Click
on the first item to create space
for a new equation. (You
shouldnt need the other choices
for this project, but feel free to
investigate!)

Its always a good idea to save your work early and often!
To give your graph a name and save it, click on the green
disk/save symbol.

Give your graph a name, and click on

the green Save Graph button.

Change colors and line style.

You can change line colors by clicking on the
Edit Settings button.

The symbol will change to a big

colored dot. Click on the dot!

Now you can choose from a set of

colors. You can also make your line
dashed by clicking on that symbol.
Change as many of your lines as youd like, and
then hit the Done button. Dont forget to Save
your work frequently.

Share your graph with your teacher! (This is how you will turn in your graph.)
When youd like to turn in your graph, click on the Share Graph icon.

Youll get something like

this. Click on the Email
button.
Type in your teachers
email address (in Send
to:), your name (which
should already be filled
in), and a message to your
teacher if youd like. Then
hit the Send button.
