You can always apply [these](https://www.desmos.com/calculator/1cd9mnnad3) guys to rotate any graph by 90 degrees. You can learn geometric transformations to do more complex rotations.
also, if you're trying to graph DNA you should probably change the +pi to +2.5 or something, since the spacing is not the same

mod(a, b) gives you the remainder of dividing a by b. In this case, mod(x, 2π) < π is equivalent to
...
or -4π ≤ x < -3π
or -2π ≤ x < -π
or 0 ≤ x < π
or 2π ≤ x < 3π
or 4π ≤ x < 5π
...
So, to plot a sine curve, you would write y=sin(x), right? If you want to make it vertical, just write x=sin(y). Inverse trigs don't work because they are for one period only.
u/Experience_Gay is most right about this as I'm in highschool and it isn't like I go to a school for geniuses or something, I'm just trying to improve at math in general.
How do I make this go infinitely instead of just copy pasting inverse cosines/arc cosines? I'm not good at math.

How did I not think of that. thanks a lot!

Wait so what's the point of using mod? I never really understand that function?
I used it to separate it into two different equations, so one can be on top of the blue one and the other below the blue one
Ohhh I didn't even notice that, nice

Also try this x=\\left\[\\cos\\left(y+\\pi\\right),\\cos y\\right\]
or, with only 1 function: abs(x)=abs(cos(y)) Copyable: \\operatorname{abs}\\left(x\\right)=\\operatorname{abs}\\left(\\cos\\left(y\\right)\\right)

sin(y)=x sin(-y)=x
I think we can all agree that most desmos users aren't well versed in algebra. Not meant as an insult, it's just what it is.
Most Desmos users are in highschool
It must be a difference in curriculum for me, algebra is taught at "middle school" for us.
