Overview of Steps in Graphing Polar Equations

To graph polar equations, use the same general steps used for y(x) functions as
described in Basic Function Graphing. Any differences that apply to polar equations are
described on the following pages.

1. Set Graph mode (3) to POLAR. Also
set Angle mode, if necessary.
2. Define x and y components on Y= Editor
(8#).
3. Select (†) which defined equations to
graph. Select the x or y component, or
both.
