  2. Distance from a point to a line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distance_from_a_point_to_a...

    The line with equation ax + by + c = 0 has slope -a/b, so any line perpendicular to it will have slope b/a (the negative reciprocal). 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 ...

  3. 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

  4. Symbolab - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbolab

    Symbolab is an answer engine [1] that provides step-by-step solutions to mathematical problems in a range of subjects. [2] It was originally developed by Israeli start-up company EqsQuest Ltd., under whom it was released for public use in 2011. In 2020, the company was acquired by American educational technology website Course Hero. [3] [4]

  5. Pedal equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pedal_equation

    The pedal equation can be found by eliminating x and y from these equations and the equation of the curve. The expression for p may be simplified if the equation of the curve is written in homogeneous coordinates by introducing a variable z, so that the equation of the curve is g(x, y, z) = 0. The value of p is then given by [2]

  6. Slope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slope

    Slope illustrated for y = (3/2)x − 1.Click on to enlarge Slope of a line in coordinates system, from f(x) = −12x + 2 to f(x) = 12x + 2. The slope of a line in the plane containing the x and y axes is generally represented by the letter m, [5] and is defined as the change in the y coordinate divided by the corresponding change in the x coordinate, between two distinct points on the line.

  7. Vector projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector_projection

    The vector component or vector resolute of a perpendicular to b, sometimes also called the vector rejection of a from b (denoted ⁡ or a ⊥b), [1] is the orthogonal projection of a onto the plane (or, in general, hyperplane) that is orthogonal to b.

    Months after its $80 million Series B fundraise, Course Hero has acquired Symbolab, an artificial intelligence-powered calculator that helps students answer and understand complex math questions.

  9. Pedal curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pedal_curve

    Take P to be the origin. For a curve given by the equation F(x, y)=0, if the equation of the tangent line at R=(x 0, y 0) is written in the form ⁡ + ⁡ = then the vector (cos α, sin α) is parallel to the segment PX, and the length of PX, which is the distance from the tangent line to the origin, is p.
