False Starting a graph. Physics Paper 3

[Saturation]

Hello!

In many physics practical papers (Paper 3), when plotting the graph, I use a false origin. I just want to confirm if this the way to plot a graph with a "false origin" :

Thanks again!

it is better that u draw a graph without a false origion but if ur graph doesn't fit and may aquire more than that of the graph provided ,u can use a false origin graph!

well, my teacher says don't do that zig-zag line thingy, but label it somewhere on the graph paper that there's a false origin. like if you have space in the lower left corner below the x-axis, write "false origin". i lost marks in my phy practical mock cuz i didn't write that :S
