No. And for examples where they don't look at graphs where the x-axis is years.

If the scales do not start at zero, this fact should be clearly indicated.

How can data be misrepresented in graphs?

If scales are too big, the right picture to represent an item displayed on a graph is not used, or if the graph doesn't start on zero, all are ways the data can be misrepresented!

There is no reason why any graph should start from any particular point.

Yes. All scales must be zeroed out. It's hard to tell how it affects the results.

Why does the displacement time graph of free vibration system do not come zero while acceleration time graph comes zero?

Not true. If the graph starts with displacement = 0 when time = 0 then it must return to zero at time = half the period, and all multiples of that value. If the graph starts at some other value, it must return to zero within t = half the period, and then keep returning to zero after every half-period.


What is the two most used scales for using absolute zero?

The Kelvin and Celsius scales are the most used scales for absolute zero.


Do bar graphs start at the number zero?

A bar graph's data doesn't always start with zero but the scale on the y axis should. If you are not going to start the scale with zero then you have to put a squiggly line at the bottom to show that you skipped this space.


What is the zero of a function and how does it relate to the functions graph?

A zero of a function is a point at which the value of the function is zero. If you graph the function, it is a point at which the graph touches the x-axis.
