I have the graphs of |x| + |y| = 6 and y = x - 2, and y = x + 2 on separate Cartesian planes. One is drawn with pgfplots and the other is drawn with only TikZ. I like the position of the labels for the axes using pgfplots. How do I get the same position of the labels for the axes - x and y - using only TikZ?
