2. Slope field - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slope_field

   the slope field is an array of slope marks in the phase space (in any number of dimensions depending on the number of relevant variables; for example, two in the case of a first-order linear ODE, as seen to the right). Each slope mark is centered at a point (,,, …,) and is parallel to the vector

3. Line–sphere intersection - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line–sphere_intersection

   2. Point intersection. 3. Two point intersection. In analytic geometry, a line and a sphere can intersect in three ways: No intersection at all; Intersection in exactly one point; Intersection in two points. Methods for distinguishing these cases, and determining the coordinates for the points in the latter cases, are useful in a number of ...

4. Slope - Wikipedia

   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.

5. Line–line intersection - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line–line_intersection

   The x and y coordinates of the point of intersection of two non-vertical lines can easily be found using the following substitutions and rearrangements. Suppose that two lines have the equations y = ax + c and y = bx + d where a and b are the slopes (gradients) of the lines and where c and d are the y-intercepts of the lines.

6. Tangent lines to circles - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tangent_lines_to_circles

   Let A 1, A 2, B 1, B 2, C 1, C 2 be the six intersection points, with the same letter corresponding to the same line and the index 1 corresponding to the point closer to P. Let D be the point where the lines A 1 B 2 and A 2 B 1 intersect, Similarly E for the lines B 1 C 2 and B 2 C 1. Draw a line through D and E. This line meets the circle at ...

7. Locus (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

   Each curve in this example is a locus defined as the conchoid of the point P and the line l.In this example, P is 8 cm from l. In geometry, a locus (plural: loci) (Latin word for "place", "location") is a set of all points (commonly, a line, a line segment, a curve or a surface), whose location satisfies or is determined by one or more specified conditions.
