Create Scatterplot with Regression Line in R Using ggplot2

To create a regression line with 0 intercept and slope equals to 1 using ggplot2, we can use geom_abline function but we need to pass the appropriate limits for the x axis and y axis values. For example, if we have two columns x and y in a data frame df and both have ranges starting from -1 to 1 then the scatterplot with regression line with 0 intercept and slope equals to 1 can be created as −

ggplot(df,aes(x,y))+geom_point()+geom_abline()+lims(x=c(-1,1),y=c(-1,1))

Example

Consider the below data frame −

x<-rnorm(20,5,1.12)
y<-rnorm(20,1,0.035)
df<-data.frame(x,y)
df
