with numbers on the axis will be even better

That would take TikZ support, which is not going to happen unless that do something sever side to render it to an image or PDF.  See, MathJax is NOT $\LaTeX$.  It just uses it as an input method.

So pretend we are off openstudy..
And you had your own program and you can download any plugins you wanted.
Would the code be hard to produce some graph like above?

Forget making drawings into$\ \LaTeX$, we can't even use different colors in a drawing.

I actually sugested they do TikZ before.  There are online sites for documents that do it.  It would be a nice way to have editable drawings and they could probably use a scripted engine to work with it.  Save the math in a file and use a grsaphical interface to make it easy for the average person to edit.
