How do you graph y = 1/4 + sin x? Trigonometry Graphing Trigonometric Functions General Sinusoidal Graphs 1 Answer Gió Aug 15, 2015 This is a normal sin only shifted up of 1/4: Explanation: The normal sin oscilates around the x axis repeating itself every 2pi=6.28rad as: If you "add" 1/4 to every point you will end up with the same graph but oscllating around the line passing through y=1/4, as: Answer link Related questions What does sinusoidal mean?
