defining a relation or by selecting and changing the graph.
As you graph multiple plots, the defining relation is displayed for each. You
can define and graph a maximum of 99 relations of each type.
5. Use the b key to explore and analyse the relation to:
• Trace the relation.
• Find points of interest.
• Assign a variable in the expression to a slider.
