Correct the shift on the x-axis and y-axis. 

Step 2:  Shift the vertical lines on the x-axis. Shift the lines to the left or right until they pass through the four circles. In the example below, the lines must be shifted to the left.

Step 3:  The horizontal line on the y-axis. Move the line upwards or downwards until the intersecting points are at the vertical lines in the upper circles. In the graphic below, the line must be shifted downwards.
