2. Cartesian coordinate system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartesian_coordinate_system

   Cartesian coordinate system with a circle of radius 2 centered at the origin marked in red. The equation of a circle is (x − a)2 + (y − b)2 = r2 where a and b are the coordinates of the center (a, b) and r is the radius. Cartesian coordinates are named for René Descartes, whose invention of them in the 17th century revolutionized ...

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. Function (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

   In mathematics, a function from a set X to a set Y assigns to each element of X exactly one element of Y. [ 1 ] The set X is called the domain of the function [ 2 ] and the set Y is called the codomain of the function. [ 3 ] Functions were originally the idealization of how a varying quantity depends on another quantity.

6. Identity line - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Identity_line

   In a 2-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system, with x representing the abscissa and y the ordinate, the identity line[1][2] or line of equality[3] is the y = x line. The line, sometimes called the 1:1 line, has a slope of 1. [4] When the abscissa and ordinate are on the same scale, the identity line forms a 45° angle with the abscissa, and is ...

7. Cartesian product - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartesian_product

   Cartesian product. Cartesian product of the sets {x, y, z} and {1,2,3} In mathematics, specifically set theory, the Cartesian product of two sets A and B, denoted A × B, is the set of all ordered pairs (a, b) where a is in A and b is in B. [1] In terms of set-builder notation, that is [2][3]

8. Log–log plot - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Log–log_plot

   Comparison of Linear, Concave, and Convex Functions\nIn original (left) and log10 (right) scales. In science and engineering, a log–log graph or log–log plot is a two-dimensional graph of numerical data that uses logarithmic scales on both the horizontal and vertical axes. Power functions – relationships of the form – appear as straight ...

9. Linear function (calculus) - Wikipedia

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

   A linear function is a polynomial function in which the variable x has degree at most one: [2] . Such a function is called linear because its graph, the set of all points in the Cartesian plane, is a line. The coefficient a is called the slope of the function and of the line (see below). If the slope is , this is a constant function defining a ...
