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. If a vertical line intersects a curve on an ...
Vertical tangent. Vertical tangent on the function ƒ (x) at x = c. In mathematics, particularly calculus, a vertical tangent is a tangent line that is vertical. Because a vertical line has infinite slope, a function whose graph has a vertical tangent is not differentiable at the point of tangency.
A line chart or line graph, also known as curve chart, [1] is a type of chart that displays information as a series of data points called 'markers' connected by straight line segments. [2] It is a basic type of chart common in many fields. It is similar to a scatter plot except that the measurement points are ordered (typically by their x-axis ...
Line graph. In the mathematical discipline of graph theory, the line graph of an undirected graph G is another graph L (G) that represents the adjacencies between edges of G. L (G) is constructed in the following way: for each edge in G, make a vertex in L (G); for every two edges in G that have a vertex in common, make an edge between their ...
Vertical line of equation x = a Horizontal line of equation y = b. Each solution (x, y) of a linear equation + + = may be viewed as the Cartesian coordinates of a point in the Euclidean plane. With this interpretation, all solutions of the equation form a line, provided that a and b are not both zero. Conversely, every line is the set of all ...
A more precise rendering of the data shows up in number form in the text of each line, while a somewhat less precise graphic representation shows up in chart form on the right. The vertical line indicates no effect. The horizontal distance of a box from the y-axis demonstrates the difference between the test and control (the experimental data ...
Asymptote. The graph of a function with a horizontal (y = 0), vertical (x = 0), and oblique asymptote (purple line, given by y = 2 x). A curve intersecting an asymptote infinitely many times. In analytic geometry, an asymptote (/ ˈæsɪmptoʊt /) of a curve is a line such that the distance between the curve and the line approaches zero as one ...
Pareto chart. A Pareto chart is a type of chart that contains both bars and a line graph, where individual values are represented in descending order by bars, and the cumulative total is represented by the line. The chart is named for the Pareto principle, which, in turn, derives its name from Vilfredo Pareto, a noted Italian economist.
