Elliptic curves

An elliptic curve can be written as a plane algebraic curve defined by an equation of the form $$y^2=x^3+ax+b\,.$$ In JSXGraph, elliptic curves can be plotted using the element `implicitcurve` for the equation $$0 = -y^2 + x^3+ax+b\,.$$
// Define the id of your board in BOARDID

JXG.Options.axis.strokeColor = '#cccccc';
const board = JXG.JSXGraph.initBoard(BOARDID, {
    boundingbox: [-15, 10, 15, -10],
    axis: true
});

var b = board.create('slider', [[-14, 8], [-4, 8], [-10, 2.10, 10]], {name: 'a', point1: {frozen: true}, point2: {frozen: true}});
var a = board.create('slider', [[-14, 7], [-4, 7], [-10, -9.52, 10]], {name: 'b', point1: {frozen: true}, point2: {frozen: true}});

var c = board.create('implicitcurve', [
    (x, y) => -(y**2) + x**3 + a.Value() * x + b.Value() 
], { 
  strokeWidth: 3, strokeColor: JXG.palette.red
});
