Is there significance to the fact that the axes aren't labeled in the warning? Can I plot y = 0.75x today or not?Brossa (talk) 15:05, 8 February 2023 (UTC)

you cannot because it intersects the given square as shown in this desmos thing i whipped up in 2 seconds: https://www.desmos.com/calculator/zb9nbrl6s5 172.70.43.29 15:38, 8 February 2023 (UTC)Bumpf
I can if the forbidden coordinates are 1 ≤ x ≤1.5 and 1.5 ≤ y ≤2172.70.131.66 15:56, 8 February 2023 (UTC)
In the absence of other information, assuming horizontal x and vertical y would be conventional. --141.101.98.145 19:15, 8 February 2023 (UTC)

"Hole" is also sometimes used to mean a particular coordinate on a function which is discontinous at some point but could have a value (for example sinx/x with a hole at (0,1)). 172.70.206.92 19:18, 8 February 2023 (UTC) Randall listed 2 points, yet the cordoned off area is a square. 2 points define a line, not a square, he really should have thought of that. How is someone to know the invalid points without the diagram? Even with the diagram, we don't know whether points on the boundary are included! Is the line y=1 a valid line to draw? THESE ARE QUESTIONS THAT NEED TO BE ANSWERED RANDALL BE MATHEMATICALLY RIGOROUS NEXT TIME.
