    I don’t think I’ve ever seen what appears to be a line graph loop back on itself.

      Visualise it as a 3d graph seen from the top.

      Math people are cringing.

        But in this graph it’s correct, isn’t it?

        A bit of a strange choice of axis, but technically it’s correct, I think.
        We see how during COVID people died earlier although expenses went up (didn’t check the dates, but I guess that’s the thing?), and afterwards expenses went down, but people grow older again
        Or do I completely misunderstand this?

          Yeah, it’s correct. What they did is, for every year they place a dot with respect to x and y axis, then connected the dots. An unusual graph, but works well for this situation, IMO.

        I don’t think they’re cringing, this is perfectly correct.

          By the definition:

          A function f from a set X to a set Y is an assignment of one element of Y to each element of X.

            This is not a function graph, though. It is a Connected Scatterplot.
