[R] abline of an lm fit not correct

[Robert U]

Hello fellow
R-users,
 
I’m stuck
with something i think is pretty stupid, but i can’t find out where i’m 
wrong,
and it’s turning me crazy! 
 
I am doing
a very simple linear regression with Northing/Easting data, then I plot the
data as well as the regression line : 
 
> plot(x=Dataset$EASTING,
y=Dataset$NORTHING)
> fit <- lm(formula = NORTHING ~ EASTING,
data = Dataset)
> abline(fit)
> fit
 
Call:
lm(formula = NORTHING ~ EASTING, data =
Dataset)
 
Coefficients:
(Intercept)      EASTING  
  5.376e+05    4.692e-02  
 
Later on, when I use the
command “abline” with the coefficient provided by “summary(fit)”, the 
line is
not the same as abline(fit) !
 
To summarize,
those two lines are different: 
 
> abline(fit)
>
abline(5.376e+05, 4.692e-02)
 
The “b” coefficients
appear equal, but the intercepts are different.
 
Where am I missing
something? L
 
Thanks
