2. Linear function (calculus) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_function_(calculus)

   A linear function is a polynomial function in which the variable x has degree at most one: [2] . Such a function is called linear because its graph, the set of all points in the Cartesian plane, is a line. The coefficient a is called the slope of the function and of the line (see below). If the slope is , this is a constant function defining a ...

3. Linear equation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_equation

   The phrase "linear equation" takes its origin in this correspondence between lines and equations: a linear equation in two variables is an equation whose solutions form a line. If b ≠ 0, the line is the graph of the function of x that has been defined in the preceding section. If b = 0, the line is a vertical line (that is a line parallel to ...

4. Line (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

   In two dimensions, the equation for non-vertical lines is often given in the slope–intercept form: = + where: m is the slope or gradient of the line. b is the y-intercept of the line. x is the independent variable of the function y = f(x).

5. Bresenham's line algorithm - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bresenham's_line_algorithm

   Bresenham's line algorithm. Bresenham's line algorithm is a line drawing algorithm that determines the points of an n -dimensional raster that should be selected in order to form a close approximation to a straight line between two points. It is commonly used to draw line primitives in a bitmap image (e.g. on a computer screen ), as it uses ...

6. Intercept theorem - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intercept_theorem

   The intercept theorem, also known as Thales's theorem, basic proportionality theorem or side splitter theorem, is an important theorem in elementary geometry about the ratios of various line segments that are created if two rays with a common starting point are intercepted by a pair of parallels. It is equivalent to the theorem about ratios in ...

7. Slope field - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slope_field

   the slope field is an array of slope marks in the phase space (in any number of dimensions depending on the number of relevant variables; for example, two in the case of a first-order linear ODE, as seen to the right). Each slope mark is centered at a point and is parallel to the vector. The number, position, and length of the slope marks can ...
