  2. Abscissa and ordinate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abscissa_and_ordinate

    abscissa-axis (horizontal) coordinate ordinate-axis (vertical) coordinate. Together they form an ordered pair which defines the location of a point in two-dimensional rectangular space. More technically, the abscissa of a point is the signed measure of its projection on the primary axis.

  3. Lippmann diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lippmann_diagram

    In the diagram, the abscissa (horizontal axis) represents two variables with different scales to represent both the solid phase mole fraction and the aqueous activity fraction. The ordinate (vertical axis) represents the solid phase. [4] There are two variants of Lippmann diagrams: [citation needed] Ion-activity Lippmann diagram

  4. Curvilinear coordinates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curvilinear_coordinates

    The local (non-unit) basis vector is b 1 (notated h 1 above, with b reserved for unit vectors) and it is built on the q 1 axis which is a tangent to that coordinate line at the point P. The axis q 1 and thus the vector b 1 form an angle with the Cartesian x axis and the Cartesian basis vector e 1. It can be seen from triangle PAB that

  5. Semi-log plot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semi-log_plot

    The linear–log type of a semi-log graph, defined by a logarithmic scale on the x axis, and a linear scale on the y axis. Plotted lines are: y = 10 x (red), y = x (green), y = log(x) (blue). In science and engineering, a semi-log plot/graph or semi-logarithmic plot/graph has one axis on a logarithmic scale, the other on a linear scale.

  6. Mohr's circle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohr's_circle

    The abscissa and ordinate (,) of each point on the circle are the magnitudes of the normal stress and shear stress components, respectively, acting on the rotated coordinate system. In other words, the circle is the locus of points that represent the state of stress on individual planes at all their orientations, where the axes represent the ...

  7. Critical point (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    The graph of f is a concave up parabola, the critical point is the abscissa of the vertex, where the tangent line is horizontal, and the critical value is the ordinate of the vertex and may be represented by the intersection of this tangent line and the y-axis.

    the coordinate on the first or horizontal axis in a Cartesian coordinate system, [10] or the viewport in a graph or window in computer graphics; the abscissa. Axis in the direction of travel of an aerospace vehicle (longitudinal axis) a mole fraction [10] Variable to be determined in an algebraic equation; A vector in linear algebra

  9. Vertical line test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertical_line_test

    The vertical line test, shown graphically. The abscissa shows the domain of the (to be tested) function. In mathematics, the vertical line test is a visual way to determine if a curve is a graph of a function or not. A function can only have one output, y, for each unique input, x.
