  2. 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).

  3. Trilinear coordinates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trilinear_coordinates

    Trilinear coordinates are an example of homogeneous coordinates. The ratio x : y is the ratio of the perpendicular distances from the point to the sides (extended if necessary) opposite vertices A and B respectively; the ratio y : z is the ratio of the perpendicular distances from the point to the sidelines opposite vertices B and C ...

  4. Line graph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_graph

    Given a graph G, its line graph L(G) is a graph such that each vertex of L(G) represents an edge of G; and; two vertices of L(G) are adjacent if and only if their corresponding edges share a common endpoint ("are incident") in G. That is, it is the intersection graph of the edges of G, representing each edge by the set of its two endpoints. [2]

  5. Cartesian coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartesian_coordinate_system

    The black dot shows the point with coordinates x = 2, y = 3, and z = 4, or (2, 3, 4). A Cartesian coordinate system for a three-dimensional space consists of an ordered triplet of lines (the axes) that go through a common point (the origin), and are pair-wise perpendicular; an orientation for each axis; and a single unit of length for all three ...

  6. Coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordinate_system

    If a coordinate curve is a straight line, it is called a coordinate line. A coordinate system for which some coordinate curves are not lines is called a curvilinear coordinate system. [13] Orthogonal coordinates are a special but extremely common case of curvilinear coordinates. A coordinate line with all other constant coordinates equal to ...

  7. Distance from a point to a line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Distance_from_a_point_to_a_line

    Drop a perpendicular from the point P with coordinates (x 0, y 0) to the line with equation Ax + By + C = 0. Label the foot of the perpendicular R. Draw the vertical line through P and label its intersection with the given line S.

  8. Line (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_(geometry)

    A number line, with variable x on the left and y on the right. Therefore, x is smaller than y. A point on number line corresponds to a real number and vice versa. [15] Usually, integers are evenly spaced on the line, with positive numbers are on the right, negative numbers on the left.

  9. Abscissa and ordinate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abscissa_and_ordinate

    In common usage, the abscissa refers to the x coordinate and the ordinate refers to the y coordinate of a standard two-dimensional graph. [1] [2]The distance of a point from the y axis, scaled with the x axis, is called the abscissa or x coordinate of the point.
