Im trying to plot x^2+y^2=1 like so: plot([x^2+y^2==1],(x,-5,5),(y,-5,5))

Can anyone what i am doing wrong?

I get "TypeError: float() argument must be a string or a number, not 'tuple'"

The relation x^2 + y^2 = 1 is not an expression of y as a function of x.

To plot the graph of such a relation, Sage has a dedicated method.

It is called implicit_plot.

Try this:

sage: x, y = SR.var('x, y')
sage: implicit_plot(x^2 + y^2 == 1, (x, -5, 5), (y, -5, 5))

For the various types of 2D plots available in Sage, see:
