Do not use implied multiplication
between the variable and
parentheses. If you do, it is treated as
a function call.
Leave the initial condition yi1 blank.

dialog box. Then set
Axes = ON

, and
Fields = SLPFLD
.
Important: To graph one differential
equation, Fields must be set to
SLPFLD
or
FLDOFF
. If Fields=
DIRFLD
,
an error occurs when you graph.

5. Display the Graph screen.
Because you did not specify an initial

by drawing only the slope field. Then enter initial conditions in the Y= Editor and
interactively from the Graph screen.
Important: With y1'

the y1 solution curve, not
the derivative y1'.
