TI 84 Calculator Graphing Function Basics Y= linear function
Graphing Basics on the calculator starts with basic graphing. For the TI 84 calculator, you’d want to start with a linear function. The example shown is y=2x-1. It’ll be easy for you to get started and you can progress to more complicated functions to graph later. Also, you can find quite a bit of information about curvilinear graphs, such as maximums, minimums, x-intercepts, and points of intersection with other functions.
But, more on that later. For now, let’s just start with a simple linear function.

Difference Twixt Negative and Minus on TI 84
There is a huge difference between the minus sign and the negative sign. The minus is for subtraction. The negative sign is for negative numbers. If you ever encounter an error related to this, please watch this video. May you never encounter that error again.

Zoom: Zbox and Standard
When you’re graphing, you might need to change the area the calculator displays. You can use the ZBox function to do this. Also, use ZStandard to return to Zstandard.

Zoom: ZTrig
If you’re graphing trig functions, this helps. It might work better in radian mode.

ANS key (second (-) )(recalls last value)
You’ll want to use this if you want to recycle values. Works great for physics, chemistry, and higher level math.
You can also do this using the up arrow key and ENTER. Does the same thing.

STO key (STO stores a specific value)
This works well for storing a value you’ll need to access. If you need to access the same value multiple times, this is for you. Rather than typing in a lot of digits, you just recall the letter.
For those of you who are into programming your TI 84, this is a godsend.
