Curve through more than 3 points

Can somebody help me with finding a general way of creating or seeing a formula for a curve through more than 3 point? Parametric as wel as polar and general. No mather what?

like: y=x^2

x=y^2

conic sections

etc!

Thanks for any reaction!

Is it possible to see an example? Is it polar as wel as parametric?

Maybe you can post some examples of what you want exactly

Of course! Thanks for your time!

In geogebra (see picture) it is possible to see the equation of a circle through 3 points.

The same circle has a polar equation and a parametric one.

My question is wheather it is possible for any other function or curve.

So: (0,0) (1,1) (4,2) makes a circle (which we know) and also x=y^2 and maybe other curves through the same points.

Or for example (1,1) (2,2) (3,1) (3,2) (2,0) gives this equation: X^2+Y^2-XY-3X=-2 which is a Hyperbola.

x=y^2 will not be given (I do not know why?) but I want also the parametric equation of any kind of curve through these (right now 3 or 5 and maybe later 4 or more) points.

Maybe it is not possible at all! But you do not know!

I just wanna know! Curiosity!
