Just label the axis whatever you please.

 

Yes, I know to the trained eye, it looks fabricated, but to the average person, it can deceive them.

So you tell me that I can pretend to be smarter if I use it?... :3

Kind of. At the very least, I managed to fool a few business students with it.

No. It's simply something that I cooked up in thirty seconds.

Lol, too much symmetry at some point, and why should there even be any values being represented on the negative axes on this type of graph? Those are the kind of questions someone who saw the larger range would ask. Although with your smaller range between -6 and 6 it is understandable someone would get fooled at a glance. To make it even more decietful, you could literally just take the shape of this graph and transform it to the upper right making (-6,-5) the new origin and cutting off the rest. Mouthful...

I did say "little work" on the title. That means I can just type in a small combination of linear and sinusoidal functions, scale the axis a bit, and then.
