I am sure the plot on that page was created with Mathematica. One way to add labels to curves would be to use Epilog. For example, try pasting the following into a Mathematica notebook:

\!\(\(Plot[{
    x, x^2}, {
      x, 0, 1}, Epilog -> {Text["\<y=x\>", { .4,  .55}, {\(-1\), 0}], \
Text[\*"\"\<y=\!\(x\^2\)\>\"", { .6,  .2}, {1, 0}]}];\)\)

Another way would be to use the DrawGraphics package David Park created
