The $e\psilon-\delta$ definition states that the limit of $f(x) = L$ as $x$ approaches $a$ if for all $\epsilon > 0$, there exists a $\delta > 0$, such that if $|x-a| < \delta$, then $|f(x) - L| < \epsilon$. The applet below courtesy of Sylvain Berube, shows its geometric interpretation.

The linear function is draggable. Once the graph is translated vertically, some of the numerical values become unrelated to what is presented graphically.
