k k k k k Trace
With trace, you can move a flashing pointer along a graph with the f, c, d, and
e cursor keys and obtain readouts of coordinates at each point. The following
shows the different types of coordinate readouts produced by trace.
• Rectangular Coordinate Graph • Parametric Function Graph
• Inequality Graph

Example To determine the points of intersection for graphs produced by
the following functions:
Y1: y = x 2 – 3
Y2: y = – x + 2
Use the following View Window parameters.
Xmin = –5 Ymin = –10
Xmax = 5 Ymax = 10
Xscl = 1 Yscl = 2
1. After drawing the graphs, press 1 (TRCE) to display the pointer in the center of
the graph.

• The pointer may not be visible on the graph when you press 1 (TRCE).
2. Use d to move the pointer to the first intersection.
d ~ d
