I need to know how to plot any kind of equation between $x$ and $y$ without solving it for $y$. For example, for $x^2+y^2=1$ I need the plot without knowing that $y=\pm \sqrt {1-x^2}$.
How to plot functions of this form? $x^7-\sqrt y=$ constant +$\log(x)+e^y$ (of an equation between $x$ and $y$)

0are you trying in matlab or excel? – 2012-10-30

0no,no. I need to do this by hand, not with a program :). If I needed that I would have tried [link](http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?t=crmtb01&f=ob&i=plot%3A%20x%5E2%2By%5E2%3D1). – 2012-10-30

0I would pick a range for x and compute the value of y for each of those values of x. Hope this helps. – 2012-10-30

0It's almost impossible w/o a computer. – 2012-10-30
