I know how I talk about insignificant details not making a difference and these details might seem insignificant but AXIS INTERCEPTS MATTER. God damn it. The only time I go on facebook, people are helping each other with their homework (posting answers to hard questions). Which is fine. I'd rather them cheat than not do homework at all. At least they kind of care about their grades right?*

But there is one thing I will not stand for and it's bad graphs. I love drawing graphs. So many things can be told with a graph ever so quickly. It's just such an easy way to talk to people. And when people get graphs wrong, I just hate it. It's like when you get all A⁺s and you score the lone B⁺. It sticks out so bad, I wish I got all B⁺s.

Either way, we're doing conics right. And we're doing these type of questions x²-4x-4y²-8y-16=0 and we're supposed to graph them. Easy enough, right? So eventually you'll get two asymptotes, one of them being y=-0.5x.

Now, I don't care what the whole graph has been dilated/translated by. That asymptote is the asymptote of the whole graph. The line of that asymptote must go though the fucking origin. It doesn't have to be to scale (sometimes it's just impracticle) but you got to draw the line through the origin. Otherwise it simply is misleading and that's bloody irritating, god dammit. Can't people have some decency and draw an accurate graph?

*Facebook depresses me.
