    What exactly does 'x-vt' mean in the wave equation?

    So the equation is f(x,t) = f(x-vt,0) = A sine k(x-vt). Now Since x is displacement of wave from origin, t is time taken for that,wouldn't 'x-vt' always be equal to 0 ? If x-vt is 0, Y = A sine k(x-vt) will also be zero. So am I writing the equation wrong?
