Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Notes on Analytical Geometry: An Appendix
The constants a and b are the lengths of the intercepts made by the straight line on the coordinate axes. This equation may also be regarded as one connecting the lengths of the intercepts made on the coordinate axes by a variable straight line which passes through the point (x, y) in this sense (a, b) may be regarded as the coordinates of such lines.
