  2. 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).

  3. Line–line intersection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line–line_intersection

    The x and y coordinates of the point of intersection of two non-vertical lines can easily be found using the following substitutions and rearrangements. 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.

  4. 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 ...

  5. 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 ...

  6. Secant line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secant_line

    A straight line can intersect a circle at zero, one, or two points. A line with intersections at two points is called a secant line, at one point a tangent line and at no points an exterior line. A chord is the line segment that joins two distinct points of a circle. A chord is therefore contained in a unique secant line and each secant line ...

  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. Power of a point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_of_a_point

    For any point outside of the circle there are two tangent points , on circle , which have equal distance to . Hence the circle o {\displaystyle o} with center P {\displaystyle P} through T 1 {\displaystyle T_{1}} passes T 2 {\displaystyle T_{2}} , too, and intersects c {\displaystyle c} orthogonal:

  9. Circle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circle

    The sum of the squared lengths of any two chords intersecting at right angles at a given point is the same as that of any other two perpendicular chords intersecting at the same point and is given by 8r 2 − 4p 2, where r is the circle radius, and p is the distance from the centre point to the point of intersection.
