Nice! I love it when a post has the math.

Can you tell me what math tool you were using in the photos?

Glad you liked it! That's Desmos, you can find it here: desmos.com/calculator?lang=en
Got it from the YT channel "3blue1brown", I love that tool.

I do however admit that I cheated a bit with the gradient in Desmos. I created each linear function twice with different colors and changed the opacity to make it look like a gradient. It does the trick, though :D
