You're looking at a graph of two horizontal lines created by MathTrax with the equation y^2=1. If you sonify this graph MathTrax will play these two lines together, like a chord. Think of the line above the x axis as the treble clef and the line below the x axis as the bass clef. Can you hear the chord? Try this one: (y - mx)^2 = c
Can you think of other equations that would make interesting musical graphs?
