That's an f(x) = x when it should be an f(x) = x - 1000.

You can’t say that, if you don’t see the scale!

f(x) = x - a 🙂

[–] Petter1@lemm.ee 2 points 4 months ago

Better 😁

Why are you assuming that the y scale doesn't start at -1000?

[–] onlinepersona@programming.dev 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Because you can clearly see the X axis?

The placement of the x axis says nothing about the values on the y axis. By convention it's often placed at y=0, but plenty of plots make this impossible or impractical or simply not desired.
