  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 extreme point of the parabola, whether minimum or maximum, corresponds to its vertex. The x-coordinate of the vertex will be located at =, and the y-coordinate of the vertex may be found by substituting this x-value into the function. The y-intercept is located at the point (0, c).

  4. Quadratic function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadratic_function

    Roots and y-intercept in red; Vertex and axis of symmetry in blue; Focus and directrix in pink; Visualisation of the complex roots of y = ax 2 + bx + c: the parabola is rotated 180° about its vertex (orange). Its x-intercepts are rotated 90° around their mid-point, and the Cartesian plane is interpreted as the complex plane (green). [3

  5. Quadratic formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadratic_formula

    The roots of the quadratic function y = ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ x 2 − 3x + ⁠ 5 / 2 ⁠ are the places where the graph intersects the x-axis, the values x = 1 and x = 5. They can be found via the quadratic formula. In elementary algebra, the quadratic formula is a closed-form expression describing the solutions of a quadratic equation.

  6. Line (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

    x, y, and z are all functions of the independent variable t which ranges over the real numbers. (x 0, y 0, z 0) is any point on the line. a, b, and c are related to the slope of the line, such that the direction vector (a, b, c) is parallel to the line.

  7. Distance from a point to a line - Wikipedia

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

    In the case of a line in the plane given by the equation ax + by + c = 0, where a, b and c are real constants with a and b not both zero, the distance from the line to a point (x 0,y 0) is [1] [2]: p.14

  8. 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.

  9. Vertex (graph theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertex_(graph_theory)

    A graph with 6 vertices and 7 edges where the vertex number 6 on the far-left is a leaf vertex or a pendant vertex. In discrete mathematics, and more specifically in graph theory, a vertex (plural vertices) or node is the fundamental unit of which graphs are formed: an undirected graph consists of a set of vertices and a set of edges (unordered pairs of vertices), while a directed graph ...
