TRANSCRIPT
Using the Microsoft Math add-in for Microsoft Word for
Graphing Equations
Open Microsoft Word and start a new document.
Click the Add-Ins tab and select Microsoft Math.
Choose Insert New Equation from the pull-down menu
In the box “Type equation here", type in the following equation:
y = mx + b
Left click your equation so that the box appears around it, and left click Microsoft Math in the Add-
Ins tab. Select Plot in 2D from the pull-down menu.
You should see this graph:
Now start using some of the graphing tools that are available in the Microsoft
Math Graph Controls window.
• Change the display type so that your graph changes to a different style:
Now try to Animate the Graph
a.What happens when you change the value of b?b.What happens when you change the value of m?c. Notice that you can change the limits for your
"constants m and b"d.Change the lower limit of m to -5 e.Change the upper limit of m to +5.f. Re-animate the graph by moving the animation
slide bar.
g.Did you notice what happened to the line when you changed the value of the slope, m?
Graphing Circles
Using the formula of a Circle, we can see what happens when we change the length of the radius
Graphing FunctionsThe Sine Wave
Changing Frequency Changing Amplitude
Notice the Curvy Shape of the Sine Wave
Graphing FunctionsThe Cosine Wave
Changing Frequency Changing Amplitude
Notice the Cosine Wave is Curvy too!
Plot the Following Equations:
• x2 + y2 = r2
• y = a•sin b
• y = a•cos b
