Also, let Q = (x 1, y 1) be any point on this line and n the vector (a, b) starting at point Q. The vector n is perpendicular to the line, and the distance d from point P to the line is equal to the length of the orthogonal projection of on n. The length of this projection is given by:
It was originally called the azimuth intercept method because the process involves drawing a line which intercepts the azimuth line. This name was shortened to intercept method and the intercept distance was shortened to 'intercept'. The method yields a line of position (LOP) on which the observer is situated. The intersection of two or more ...
the distance between the two lines is the distance between the two intersection points of these lines with the perpendicular line y = − x / m . {\displaystyle y=-x/m\,.} This distance can be found by first solving the linear systems
In astronavigation, sight reduction is the process of deriving from a sight (in celestial navigation usually obtained using a sextant) the information needed for establishing a line of position, generally by intercept method.
Focal length can be calculated for the system in fig. 1 using the geometry shown in fig. 2 where it can be seen that changing the gap between the components (d+D in the figure) or the radius of curvature (R) will have a large effect on the focal length.

The mapping from 3D to 2D coordinates is (x′, y′) = ( x / w , y / w ). We can convert 2D points to homogeneous coordinates by defining them as (x, y, 1). Assume that we want to find intersection of two infinite lines in 2-dimensional space, defined as a 1 x + b 1 y + c 1 = 0 and a 2 x + b 2 y + c 2 = 0.
The vector projection of a on b is a vector a 1 which is either null or parallel to b. More exactly: a 1 = 0 if θ = 90°, a 1 and b have the same direction if 0° ≤ θ < 90°, a 1 and b have opposite directions if 90° < θ ≤ 180°.
A fan graph is a graph on n + 1 vertices where there is an edge between vertex i and n + 1 for all i = 1, 2, 3, …, n, and there is an edge between vertex i and i + 1 for all i = 1, 2, 3, …, n – 1. The resistance distance between vertex n + 1 and vertex i ∈ {1, 2, 3, …, n} is +
