    I’m at a total loss as to what is the correct way to read it

      The title of the crosspost (and mentioned in the description here) is the equation y=-x² which has a graph that starts at lower left, goes up to 0, then down to lower right.

      This gives the intended reading order.

        I was wondering what that was supposed to mean. It’s ages ago since I dealt with math graphs

      My guess is it starts on top left, then moves right, then goes down all the way to bottom right, and comes full circle to the left and back up.

      So “doesn’t make you look any better making me look bad”.

    God this was terrible. In case you are still racking your brain here is my easy way to see this stupidity. Image they wanted to lay all the text on the bottom of the image and decided to instead wrap the text around the soccer player. Start at the bottom left. Like a word salad roller coaster.

    Or you can re-learn how to use a graphing calculator and use the formula provided.

      Thanks for this. I was genuinely trying to work out whatever the fuck this was supposed to say for longer than I care to admit.
