Can the negative number start out the axis instead of the original number, 0?
PLEASEEEE HELP

Yes for most graphs you can do this. Just make sure that on the Y axis, the one going up, you start it with the same negitive you started the x axis with
Good luck!

remember y=mx+b the place m=slope and b= Y intercept so rearrange interior the above form a million) 10x-5y=10 divide all words by making use of 5 2x-y=2 now put in slope line form y=-2x+10 while x=0 y=10 (0,10) 2) y=-2/3x permit x=0 then y=0 so (0,0) for 1st factor permit x=a million, then y=-2/3 so (a million,-2/3) for 2nd factor word: provided that slope is unfavorable (-2/3) the line factors down 3) x=-3 this may well be a vertical line at x=-3 which ability x=-3 for all values of y 4) y+4=0 or y=-4 this may well be a horizontal line. placed a mark at -4 on the y-axis and draw a horizontal line. this suggests that y is often -4 no for all values of x

Certainly, and the graph in question is a fine example. The graph is a representation of a portion of a plane, and you can choose the portion in any way that is convenient for dealing with the problem at hand. Including, of course, not even having the origin be part of the selected portion.

Certainly.
A graph is just a nice convenient way of displaying data. To make it nice and easy to look at you can choose the point of origin to be anywhere you like.

ofcourse it can.
See we choose origin as a reference point due to our convience
in our calculation.
you can choose anypoint as a reference point ,but , u should keep the point as a constant and should not alter while solving a problem.
so , u can have a negetive number start out the axis .
but , u should maintain it as a reference point throughtout the problem.

Well, technically it doesn't matter...but the intersecting x and y at (0,0) is usually key to helping you graph.

for some sorts of graphs yes.

Yes, you could set things up this way.
