... collection of elements constructible from 1 of R form a field strictly larger than Q. The usual formula (“two point form”) for the straight line connecting two points with coordinates in some field F gives an equation for the line of the form ax+by−c = 0 with a, b, c ∈ F . Solving two such equations ...

Chapter 4: Graphing Linear Equations and Functions
... A linear equation is written in the form Ax+By=C, where neither A nor B are zero. A solution of an equation is an ordered pair (x, y) that makes the equation true. Example: Determine whether (4, -2) is a solution of 2x+3y=2 Step 1: plug in 4 for x and -2 for y. (Remember that x is the first number i ...

Homogeneous coordinates
In mathematics, homogeneous coordinates or projective coordinates, introduced by August Ferdinand Möbius in his 1827 work Der barycentrische Calcül, are a system of coordinates used in projective geometry, as Cartesian coordinates are used in Euclidean geometry. They have the advantage that the coordinates of points, including points at infinity, can be represented using finite coordinates. Formulas involving homogeneous coordinates are often simpler and more symmetric than their Cartesian counterparts. Homogeneous coordinates have a range of applications, including computer graphics and 3D computer vision, where they allow affine transformations and, in general, projective transformations to be easily represented by a matrix.If the homogeneous coordinates of a point are multiplied by a non-zero scalar then the resulting coordinates represent the same point. Since homogeneous coordinates are also given to points at infinity, the number of coordinates required to allow this extension is one more than the dimension of the projective space being considered. For example, two homogeneous coordinates are required to specify a point on the projective line and three homogeneous coordinates are required to specify a point in the projective plane.
