  2. Slope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slope

    Slope illustrated for y = (3/2)x − 1.Click on to enlarge Slope of a line in coordinates system, from f(x) = −12x + 2 to f(x) = 12x + 2. The slope of a line in the plane containing the x and y axes is generally represented by the letter m, [5] and is defined as the change in the y coordinate divided by the corresponding change in the x coordinate, between two distinct points on the line.

  3. Consistent and inconsistent equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consistent_and...

    The system + =, + = has exactly one solution: x = 1, y = 2 The nonlinear system + =, + = has the two solutions (x, y) = (1, 0) and (x, y) = (0, 1), while + + =, + + =, + + = has an infinite number of solutions because the third equation is the first equation plus twice the second one and hence contains no independent information; thus any value of z can be chosen and values of x and y can be ...

  4. System of linear equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_of_linear_equations

    When the equations are independent, each equation contains new information about the variables, and removing any of the equations increases the size of the solution set. For linear equations, logical independence is the same as linear independence. The equations x − 2y = −1, 3x + 5y = 8, and 4x + 3y = 7 are linearly dependent. For example ...

  5. Linear equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_equation

    Conversely, every line is the set of all solutions of a linear equation. The phrase "linear equation" takes its origin in this correspondence between lines and equations: a linear equation in two variables is an equation whose solutions form a line. If b ≠ 0, the line is the graph of the function of x that has been defined in the preceding ...

  6. Gaussian elimination - Wikipedia

    For example, to solve a system of n equations for n unknowns by performing row operations on the matrix until it is in echelon form, and then solving for each unknown in reverse order, requires n(n + 1)/2 divisions, (2n 3 + 3n 2 − 5n)/6 multiplications, and (2n 3 + 3n 2 − 5n)/6 subtractions, [10] for a total of approximately 2n 3 /3 operations.

    If = {} then the sets in the last two rows will be empty, and consequently their supremums over the set [,] will equal instead of the correct value of If the supremum is taken over the set [ 0 , ∞ ] {\displaystyle [0,\infty ]} instead, then the supremum of the empty set is 0 {\displaystyle 0} and the formulas hold for any V . {\displaystyle V.}

  8. Bézout's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bézout's_theorem

    The equation of a first line can be written in slope-intercept form = + or, in projective coordinates = + (if the line is vertical, one may exchange x and y). If the equation of a second line is (in projective coordinates) a x + b y + c t = 0 , {\displaystyle ax+by+ct=0,} by substituting s x + m t {\displaystyle sx+mt} for y in it, one gets ( a ...

  9. Linear inequality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_inequality

    For example, [3] to draw the solution set of x + 3y < 9, one first draws the line with equation x + 3y = 9 as a dotted line, to indicate that the line is not included in the solution set since the inequality is strict. Then, pick a convenient point not on the line, such as (0,0).
