Desmos

Desmos

I love Desmos, it is a great free on-line tool that provides graphical analysis of mathematical formulas. I teach an applied calculus course and use Desmos all throughout the semester to help drive home concepts.  

Slope Intercept Form. 

Notice the equation y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. Adjust the m & b sliders and observe the line. 

Circle

Here is the equation for a circle with its center at the Origin. Adjust the radius and observe. 

Circle with offset center

Adjust the h & k (horizontal and vertical) offsets and the radius. 

Parabola

Adjust p

Parabola with offset Vertex

Adjust h, k, & p

Sine wave

a represents amplitude

b represents frequency

c represents phase
