  2. Y-intercept - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Y-intercept

    The -intercept of () is indicated by the red dot at (=, =). In analytic geometry , using the common convention that the horizontal axis represents a variable x {\displaystyle x} and the vertical axis represents a variable y {\displaystyle y} , a y {\displaystyle y} -intercept or vertical intercept is a point where the graph of a function or ...

  3. Quadratic equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadratic_equation

    The y-intercept is located at the point (0, c). The solutions of the quadratic equation ax 2 + bx + c = 0 correspond to the roots of the function f(x) = ax 2 + bx + c, since they are the values of x for which f(x) = 0.

  4. Line–line intersection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line–line_intersection

    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. At the point where the two lines intersect (if they do), both y coordinates will be the same, hence the following equality: + = +.

  5. Intercept theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intercept_theorem

    The intercept theorem, also known as Thales's theorem, basic proportionality theorem or side splitter theorem, is an important theorem in elementary geometry about the ratios of various line segments that are created if two rays with a common starting point are intercepted by a pair of parallels.

  6. Linear equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_equation

    In mathematics, a linear equation is an equation that may be put in the form + … + + =, where , …, are the variables (or unknowns), and ,, …, are the coefficients, which are often real numbers. The coefficients may be considered as parameters of the equation and may be arbitrary expressions , provided they do not contain any of the variables.
