  2. Point plotting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_plotting

    Using point plotting, one associates an ordered pair of real numbers (x, y) with a point in the plane in a one-to-one manner. As a result, one obtains the 2-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system . To be able to plot points, one needs to first decide on a point in plane which will be called the origin , and a couple of perpendicular lines ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_interactive...

    trace mode: cross-hair following plot, coordinates shown in the status bar; zooming support; ability to draw the 1st and 2nd derivative and the integral of a plot function; support user-defined constants and parameter values; various tools for plot functions: find minimum/maximum point, get y-value and draw the area between the function and the ...

  4. Cartesian coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartesian_coordinate_system

    In geometry, a Cartesian coordinate system (UK: / k ɑːr ˈ t iː zj ə n /, US: / k ɑːr ˈ t iː ʒ ə n /) in a plane is a coordinate system that specifies each point uniquely by a pair of real numbers called coordinates, which are the signed distances to the point from two fixed perpendicular oriented lines, called coordinate lines ...

  5. Analytic geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analytic_geometry

    Illustration of a Cartesian coordinate plane. Four points are marked and labeled with their coordinates: (2,3) in green, (−3,1) in red, (−1.5,−2.5) in blue, and the origin (0,0) in purple. In analytic geometry, the plane is given a coordinate system, by which every point has a pair of real number coordinates.

  6. Abscissa and ordinate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abscissa_and_ordinate

    Cartesian plane with marked points (signed ordered pairs of coordinates). For any point, the abscissa is the first value (x coordinate), and the ordinate is the second value (y coordinate). In mathematics , the abscissa ( / æ b ˈ s ɪ s . ə / ; plural abscissae or abscissas ) and the ordinate are respectively the first and second coordinate ...

  7. Coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordinate_system

    Another common coordinate system for the plane is the polar coordinate system. [7] A point is chosen as the pole and a ray from this point is taken as the polar axis. For a given angle θ, there is a single line through the pole whose angle with the polar axis is θ (measured counterclockwise from the axis to the line).

  8. Homogeneous coordinates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homogeneous_coordinates

    The point is then mapped to a plane by finding the point of intersection of that plane and the line. This produces an accurate representation of how a three-dimensional object appears to the eye. In the simplest situation, the center of projection is the origin and points are mapped to the plane z = 1 {\displaystyle z=1} , working for the ...

  9. Barycentric coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barycentric_coordinate_system

    A point has coordinates (, …,) for such a coordinate system if and only if its normalized barycentric coordinates are (,, …,) relatively to the points ,, …,. The main advantage of barycentric coordinate systems is to be symmetric with respect to the n + 1 defining points.
