  2. Line (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

    Here, p is the (positive) length of the line segment perpendicular to the line and delimited by the origin and the line, and is the (oriented) angle from the x-axis to this segment. It may be useful to express the equation in terms of the angle α = φ + π / 2 {\displaystyle \alpha =\varphi +\pi /2} between the x -axis and the line.

  3. Distance from a point to a line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Distance_from_a_point_to_a_line

    In the case of a line in the plane given by the equation ax + by + c = 0, where a, b and c are real constants with a and b not both zero, the distance from the line to a point (x 0,y 0) is [1] [2]: p.14

    Numbers in standard form are written in this format: a×10 n Where a is a number 1 ≤ a < 10 and n is an integer. ln mathematics and science Canonical form; Standard form (Ax + By = C) – a common form of a linear equation; The more common term for normalised scientific notation in British English and Caribbean English; In government

  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. Scientific notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_notation

    Any real number can be written in the form m × 10 ^ n in many ways: for example, 350 can be written as 3.5 × 10 2 or 35 × 10 1 or 350 × 10 0. In normalized scientific notation (called "standard form" in the United Kingdom), the exponent n is chosen so that the absolute value of m remains at least one but less than ten (1 ≤ | m | < 10).

  7. Norm (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norm_(mathematics)

    The concept of unit circle (the set of all vectors of norm 1) is different in different norms: for the 1-norm, the unit circle is a square oriented as a diamond; for the 2-norm (Euclidean norm), it is the well-known unit circle; while for the infinity norm, it is an axis-aligned square.

  9. Matrix representation of conic sections - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matrix_representation_of...

    If the conic is non-degenerate, the conjugates of a point always form a line and the polarity defined by the conic is a bijection between the points and lines of the extended plane containing the conic (that is, the plane together with the points and line at infinity). If the point p lies on the conic Q, the polar line of p is the tangent line ...
