  2. Line–line intersection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line–line_intersection

    First we consider the intersection of two lines L 1 and L 2 in two-dimensional space, with line L 1 being defined by two distinct points (x 1, y 1) and (x 2, y 2), and line L 2 being defined by two distinct points (x 3, y 3) and (x 4, y 4). [2] The intersection P of line L 1 and L 2 can be defined using determinants.

  3. Intersection (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

    This special line is the radical line of the two circles. Intersection of two circles with centers on the x-axis, their radical line is dark red. Special case = = = : In this case the origin is the center of the first circle and the second center lies on the x-axis (s. diagram).

  4. Tangent lines to circles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tangent_lines_to_circles

    Let A 1, A 2, B 1, B 2, C 1, C 2 be the six intersection points, with the same letter corresponding to the same line and the index 1 corresponding to the point closer to P. Let D be the point where the lines A 1 B 2 and A 2 B 1 intersect, Similarly E for the lines B 1 C 2 and B 2 C 1. Draw a line through D and E. This line meets the circle at ...

  5. 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 ...

  6. Intersecting chords theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intersecting_chords_theorem

    The value of the two products in the chord theorem depends only on the distance of the intersection point S from the circle's center and is called the absolute value of the power of S; more precisely, it can be stated that: | | | | = | | | | = where r is the radius of the circle, and d is the distance between the center of the circle and the ...

  7. Problem of Apollonius - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Problem_of_Apollonius

    Figure 9: The two tangent lines of the two tangent points of a given circle intersect on the radical axis R (red line) of the two solution circles (pink). The three points of intersection on R are the poles of the lines connecting the blue tangent points in each given circle (black). Gergonne's approach is to consider the solution circles in ...

  8. Radical axis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radical_axis

    The tangent lines must be equal in length for any point on the radical axis: | | = | |. If P, T 1, T 2 lie on a common tangent, then P is the midpoint of ⁠ ¯.. In Euclidean geometry, the radical axis of two non-concentric circles is the set of points whose power with respect to the circles are equal.

  9. Poincaré half-plane model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poincaré_half-plane_model

    If the two points are not on a vertical line: Draw the radial line (half-circle) between the two given points as in the previous case. Construct a tangent to that line at the non-central point. Drop a perpendicular from the given center point to the x-axis. Find the intersection of these two lines to get the center of the model circle.
