Functions can be hidden from the graph by clicking the colored circle to the left of their equation.

...

Functions can be graphed with

Mathinline
bodyx
in terms of
Mathinline
bodyy
{\displaystyle
Mathinline
body--uriencoded--x=
{
%7B\sqrt
{1-y^{2}}}}
%7B1-y%5e%7B2%7D%7D%7D

...

Functions can be of multiple variables. For example,

Mathinline
body--uriencoded--g(a,b)=a%5e%7B2%7D+b
and 
Mathinline
body h(a)=g(a,3)
.

...

In Desmos you can graph parametric equations. The standard form of this is {\displaystyle

Mathinline
body(f(t),g(t))
}
. For example, {\displaystyle
Mathinline
body(sin(2t),cos(3t))
}
. It is necessary to use the variable {\displaystyle t}
Mathinline
bodyt
 in order for the equation to be interpreted as a parametric equation.

...

Solutions of equations involving

Mathinline
bodyx
and
Mathinline
bodyy
can be plotted without solving for
Mathinline
bodyx
or
Mathinline
bodyy
.

Points and Tables

Points can be graphed in two ways. One way is by clicking the plus in the upper left, and then selecting table. Points can be added manually, or pasted in from an outside source, such as Logger Pro. The points will appear on the graph, but the viewport will not scale to accommodate them. To do this, see Resizing the viewport.

...

The other way to graph points is by adding them in the form {\displaystyle

Mathinline
body(1,4)
}
.

Movable points can be graphed by setting one or both of the parameters to variables: {\displaystyle

Mathinline
body(1,g)
}
. Movable points can be moved either with the sliders or by clicking and dragging the point. You can restrict a movable point to being on a function by graphing it in the form {\displaystyle
Mathinline
body(a,f(a))
}
.

You can add multiple points by separating them with commas, like so: {\displaystyle

Mathinline
body(2,5),(3,10)
}
. Points added this way cannot be accessed as a list of x and y values, unlike points in a table.

...

To add a slider, write a function with a free variable, such as {\displaystyle

Mathinline
bodyy=mx
}
, then click on "add slider: m".

...

Another way to add variables is to type the variable letter, "=", and then a starting value. For example, {\displaystyle

Mathinline
body d=100.42
}
.

Clicking on either of the constraints of a slider allows you to set the minimum, maximum, and step values.
