2. Pre-algebra - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pre-algebra

   Pre-algebra is a common name for a course taught in middle school mathematics in the United States, usually taught in the 6th, 7th, 8th, or 9th grade. [1] The main objective of it is to prepare students for the study of algebra. Usually, Algebra I is taught in the 8th or 9th grade. [2]

3. Cartesian coordinate system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartesian_coordinate_system

   A Cartesian coordinate system in two dimensions (also called a rectangular coordinate system or an orthogonal coordinate system [8]) is defined by an ordered pair of perpendicular lines (axes), a single unit of length for both axes, and an orientation for each axis. The point where the axes meet is taken as the origin for both, thus turning ...

4. Analytic geometry - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analytic_geometry

   Illustration of a Cartesian coordinate plane. Four points are marked and labeled with their coordinates: (2,3) in green, (−3,1) in red, (−1.5,−2.5) in blue, and the origin (0,0) in purple. In analytic geometry, the plane is given a coordinate system, by which every point has a pair of real number coordinates.

5. Coordinate system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordinate_system

   Another common coordinate system for the plane is the polar coordinate system. [7] A point is chosen as the pole and a ray from this point is taken as the polar axis. For a given angle θ, there is a single line through the pole whose angle with the polar axis is θ (measured counterclockwise from the axis to the line).

6. Orthogonal coordinates - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthogonal_coordinates

   A coordinate surface for a particular coordinate q k is the curve, surface, or hypersurface on which q k is a constant. For example, the three-dimensional Cartesian coordinates ( x , y , z ) is an orthogonal coordinate system, since its coordinate surfaces x = constant, y = constant, and z = constant are planes that meet at right angles to one ...

7. Line coordinates - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_coordinates

   If points in the real projective plane are represented by homogeneous coordinates (x, y, z), the equation of the line is lx + my + nz = 0, provided (l, m, n) ≠ (0,0,0) . In particular, line coordinate (0, 0, 1) represents the line z = 0, which is the line at infinity in the projective plane.
