  2. Distance from a point to a line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Distance_from_a_point_to_a_line

    The line with equation ax + by + c = 0 has slope -a/b, so any line perpendicular to it will have slope b/a (the negative reciprocal). Let ( m , n ) be the point of intersection of the line ax + by + c = 0 and the line perpendicular to it which passes through the point ( x 0 , y 0 ).

  3. Line coordinates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_coordinates

    A linear equation in line coordinates has the form al + bm + c = 0, where a, b and c are constants. Suppose (l, m) is a line that satisfies this equation.If c is not 0 then lx + my + 1 = 0, where x = a/c and y = b/c, so every line satisfying the original equation passes through the point (x, y).

  4. Lineweaver–Burk plot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lineweaver–Burk_plot

    While the Lineweaver–Burk plot has historically been used for evaluation of the parameters, together with the alternative linear forms of the Michaelis–Menten equation such as the Hanes–Woolf plot or Eadie–Hofstee plot, all linearized forms of the Michaelis–Menten equation should be avoided to calculate the kinetic parameters ...

  5. Line–sphere intersection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line–sphere_intersection

    : distance from the origin of the line u {\displaystyle \mathbf {u} } : direction of line (a non-zero vector) Searching for points that are on the line and on the sphere means combining the equations and solving for d {\displaystyle d} , involving the dot product of vectors:

  6. Line–plane intersection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line–plane_intersection

    In analytic geometry, the intersection of a line and a plane in three-dimensional space can be the empty set, a point, or a line. It is the entire line if that line is embedded in the plane, and is the empty set if the line is parallel to the plane but outside it. Otherwise, the line cuts through the plane at a single point.

  7. Parallel (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_(geometry)

    the distance between the two lines can be found by locating two points (one on each line) that lie on a common perpendicular to the parallel lines and calculating the distance between them. Since the lines have slope m, a common perpendicular would have slope −1/m and we can take the line with equation y = −x/m as a common perpendicular ...

  8. Lambert's problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambert's_problem

    The transfer time of a body moving between two points on a conic trajectory is a function only of the sum of the distances of the two points from the origin of the force, the linear distance between the points, and the semimajor axis of the conic. [2]

  9. Intersection (geometry) - Wikipedia
