This is my Desmos replication

I figured out what equations to use by looking at the object and depending on if it were straight or curved, I would use either linear or quadratic equations. In order to plot specific curves, I used the functions: cubic, square root, exponential. What made the decisions easy for me was having a sheet with all the functions and what their lines looked like. It was a process of visualizing and testing which function make the line best.

The main challenge I had was using the domain and range restrictions, when two lines would overlap or not connect at all. It was frustrating because the points on the grid were rounded and not exact. But I fixed this problem by asking for help and I learned to use the slope formula to accurately connect both lines. If I were to do this project again, I would have used my time well as I underestimated how long it would take me to finish. An aha moment for me was when shading and the colour goes exactly where I want it to go.

A strategy I used was copying and pasting lines that are similar when plotting on a specific object. For example, when plotting lines on my hair, I copied the equations from the top of my hair and pasted it on the bottom of my hair. From there, I could easily change the steepness and the y intercept. This was a strategy for me because it saved time.

Before this project, I was only familiar with plotting constant, quadratic, and linear functions. But this project taught me how to plot more equations like absolute value, cubic, square root, and exponential. As well as being able to move the lines and change the steepness of it accordingly. Overall, I am proud of my Desmos work, but I wish I could have started sooner so I have time to fix some of the errors made.
