    this is my first graphing calculator, can someone teach me how to
    graph a circle with the equation
    x^2 +y^2=1

    thank you.

    If you don't have the manual in dead tree format, here is an online
    version of it:



    It covers all sorts of plots. I prefer to rewrite such equations as
    functions (y = f(x)), and plot them with the "Function" plot. But, with
    a second degree or lower polynomial, you can enter it directly, and use the
    "Conic" plot. Just read the manual so you understand what each function
    is doing.

    Yes, someone can.

    "Polar" plot type, with equation 'X=1'

    'X^2+Y^2=1' with "Conic" works too, if flag -1 is cleared
    (otherwise you get only a semicircle)

    Or '(COS(X),SIN(X))' "Parametric" plot (in RADian angle mode)
