      No one said your coordinate system needs to start on the left and point to the right. Whar if it started on the right and pointed to the left?

        Gotta second this one, can start on any direction. But no one said this was a directional graph in the first place. Just a graph

          There aren’t any labels on the axes, it could be plotting time spent gardening against number of bricks in their house for all we know.

        Unless you are an Arab then it makes no sense to go from right to left. Especially for a graph without any axes.

        Ofc I have seen it in graphs that want to manipulate people, putting timelines backward to appear that things going good.
