Musical Graph Example

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?
