  2. Linear equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_equation

    The graph of this function is a line with slope and y-intercept. The functions whose graph is a line are generally called linear functions in the context of calculus . However, in linear algebra , a linear function is a function that maps a sum to the sum of the images of the summands.

  3. Y-intercept - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Y-intercept

    Graph = with the -axis as the horizontal axis and the -axis as the vertical axis.The -intercept of () is indicated by the red dot at (=, =).. In analytic geometry, using the common convention that the horizontal axis represents a variable and the vertical axis represents a variable , a -intercept or vertical intercept is a point where the graph of a function or relation intersects the -axis of ...

  4. Graph of a function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graph_of_a_function

    Given a function: from a set X (the domain) to a set Y (the codomain), the graph of the function is the set [4] = {(, ()):}, which is a subset of the Cartesian product.In the definition of a function in terms of set theory, it is common to identify a function with its graph, although, formally, a function is formed by the triple consisting of its domain, its codomain and its graph.

  5. Distance from a point to a line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distance_from_a_point_to_a...

    The line with equation ax + by + c = 0 has slope -a/b, so any line perpendicular to it will have slope b/a (the negative reciprocal). Let (m, n) be the point of intersection of the line ax + by + c = 0 and the line perpendicular to it which passes through the point (x 0, y 0). The line through these two points is perpendicular to the original ...

  6. Line–line intersection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line–line_intersection

    A necessary condition for two lines to intersect is that they are in the same plane—that is, are not skew lines. Satisfaction of this condition is equivalent to the tetrahedron with vertices at two of the points on one line and two of the points on the other line being degenerate in the sense of having zero volume.

  7. Polynomial - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polynomial

    For example, the factored form of ... is an oblique line with y-intercept a 0 and slope a 1. The graph of a degree 2 polynomial f(x) = a 0 + a 1 x + a 2 x 2, ...

  8. Three-dimensional graph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-dimensional_graph

    The graph of a function of two variables, embedded into a three-dimensional space Topics referred to by the same term This disambiguation page lists mathematics articles associated with the same title.

  9. No-three-in-line problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No-three-in-line_problem

    The fact that the no-three-in-line problem has a solution with linearly many points can be translated into graph drawing terms as meaning that every graph, even a complete graph, can be drawn without unwanted vertex-edge incidences using a grid whose area is quadratic in the number of vertices, and that for complete graphs no such drawing with ...
