### Reflection:

###### Did you use and strategies or have any difficulties throughout your graphing?

To begin, I used most of the formulas given on how to use $x^2$ and $y^2$ to find the circular shape on the graph and then added or subtracted from x/y to create restrictions. Other than circles I used linear, quadratic, cubic, reciprocal functions and square root equations to find the shapes I needed. When searching for a particular shape I could not modify a formula to get I either asked Ms. McArthur, a friend and for one equation (the ears) I ended up needing to search for examples so I could find an equation that got the correct shape I needed butIi altered the numbers and restrictions to match my dog, Tacos, head. Once I had made the base of my dog it was easier to add separate details such as marks on his fur by altering equations used previously for eyes, nose etc. Using the equations and formulas that I understood helped me grasp the concept of certain shapes which gave me the formulas for shapes I used later on.
