  2. Line–line intersection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lineline_intersection

    The intersection point above is for the infinitely long lines defined by the points, rather than the line segments between the points, and can produce an intersection point not contained in either of the two line segments. In order to find the position of the intersection in respect to the line segments, we can define lines L 1 and L 2 in terms ...

  3. Intersection (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

    In geometry, an intersection is a point, line, or curve common to two or more objects (such as lines, curves, planes, and surfaces). The simplest case in Euclidean geometry is the lineline intersection between two distinct lines , which either is one point (sometimes called a vertex ) or does not exist (if the lines are parallel ).

  4. Distance from a point to a line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Distance_from_a_point_to_a_line

    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). The line through these two points is perpendicular to the original line, so =.

  5. Special cases of Apollonius' problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_cases_of_Apollonius...

    To generate the line that bisects the angle between two given rays [clarification needed] requires a circle of arbitrary radius centered on the intersection point P of the two lines (2). The intersection points of this circle with the two given lines (5) are T1 and T2. Two circles of the same radius, centered on T1 and T2, intersect at points P ...

  6. Intersection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intersection

    The intersection (red) of two disks (white and red with black boundaries). The circle (black) intersects the line (purple) in two points (red). The disk (yellow) intersects the line in the line segment between the two red points. The intersection of D and E is shown in grayish purple. The intersection of A with any of B, C, D, or E is the empty ...

  7. Intersection curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intersection_curve

    The intersection of two planes. The analytic determination of the intersection curve of two surfaces is easy only in simple cases; for example: a) the intersection of two planes, b) plane section of a quadric (sphere, cylinder, cone, etc.), c) intersection of two quadrics in special cases. For the general case, literature provides algorithms ...

  8. Bentley–Ottmann algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bentley–Ottmann_algorithm

    Therefore, two line segments that share an endpoint, or a line segment that contains an endpoint of another segment, both count as an intersection of two line segments. When multiple line segments intersect at the same point, create and process a single event point for that intersection.

  9. Distance between two parallel lines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distance_between_two...

    the distance between the two lines is the distance between the two intersection points of these lines with the perpendicular line y = − x / m . {\displaystyle y=-x/m\,.} This distance can be found by first solving the linear systems
