  2. Slope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slope

    Slope illustrated for y = (3/2)x − 1.Click on to enlarge Slope of a line in coordinates system, from f(x) = −12x + 2 to f(x) = 12x + 2. The slope of a line in the plane containing the x and y axes is generally represented by the letter m, [5] and is defined as the change in the y coordinate divided by the corresponding change in the x coordinate, between two distinct points on the line.

  3. Line coordinates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_coordinates

    A linear equation in line coordinates has the form al + bm + c = 0, where a, b and c are constants. Suppose (l, m) is a line that satisfies this equation.If c is not 0 then lx + my + 1 = 0, where x = a/c and y = b/c, so every line satisfying the original equation passes through the point (x, y).

  4. Distance from a point to a line - Wikipedia

    If a = 0 and b ≠ 0, the line is horizontal and has equation y = -c/b. The distance from (x 0, y 0) to this line is measured along a vertical line segment of length |y 0 - (-c/b)| = |by 0 + c| / |b| in accordance with the formula. Similarly, for vertical lines (b = 0) the distance between the same point and the line is |ax 0 + c| / |a|, as ...

  5. Linear equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_equation

    Vertical line of equation x = a Horizontal line of equation y = b. Each solution (x, y) of a linear equation + + = may be viewed as the Cartesian coordinates of a point in the Euclidean plane. With this interpretation, all solutions of the equation form a line, provided that a and b are not both zero. Conversely, every line is the set of all ...

  6. Linear function (calculus) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_function_(calculus)

    The y-intercept is the initial value = = at =. The slope a measures the rate of change of the output y per unit change in the input x. In the graph, moving one unit to the right (increasing x by 1) moves the y-value up by a: that is, (+) = +.

  7. Parametric equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parametric_equation

    For example, the equations = ⁡ = ⁡ form a parametric representation of the unit circle, where t is the parameter: A point (x, y) is on the unit circle if and only if there is a value of t such that these two equations generate that point.

    How long gravy will last after Thanksgiving. Gravy can last up to four days in fridge and up to four months in freezer. To easily reheat gravy, add to a sauce pan and bringing to a rolling boil.

  9. Calibration curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calibration_curve

    This yields a model described by the equation y = mx + y 0, where y is the instrument response, m represents the sensitivity, and y 0 is a constant that describes the background. The analyte concentration (x) of unknown samples may be calculated from this equation. Many different variables can be used as the analytical signal.
