This is not your standard make-a-table-and-graph-it kind of place (although you can do that too). With the online graphing calculator at www.desmos.com/calculator, you can use graphs to create art! So put on your creative hat and get graphing!
By using a series of equations (e.g. y = 2x+1) or inequalities (e.g. y > 0.5x -3) you can create a variety of designs. You can even make curves. Below is my first design.

I used ten equations to create this star. All the lines are linear equations (which means they are straight lines). I limited the domain (which is a fancy math way of saying I told the computer the largest and smallest number the x-coordinate could be). A little experimentation until all the lines came together and voila! |
