Description

This interactive web-based resource allows the user to graph different translated and transformed variations of common types of functions. For example, the user can explore the effects of changing the constants in the equations on the graphs of the conic sections including:

  • circle
  • ellipses
  • parabolas
  • hyperbolas



The equation and variable values are displayed and change as the user moves the slider bars.

Teachers can use the following resources to guide student investigations:
