It depends on the context.
In the case of logarithms, the number is usually given as a CHARACTERISTIC and a MANTISSA. The mantissa is always positive and comes after the decimal point (or its equivalent). However, the characteristic, which coes before the decimal point may be negative. If it is negative, it is written with a bar on top.
Whereas with ordinary numbers "minus two and a quarter" is written as -2.25, with logariths, it is interpreted as -3 plus 0.75 and written as 3bar.75 where bar represents the horizontal line above the number. Sorry, but this browser does not allow me to show it properly.
One reason for this seemingly strange procedure is that if you are dealing with logarithms to the base 10, then the power of 10 in the antilog is the same as the characteristic.
Thus antilog(0.301) = 2 = 2*100
antilog(1bar.301) = 2*10-1
antilog(3bar.301) = 2*10-3
To those not familiar with the term, antilog10(x) = 10x
A straight horizontal line is a line that goes sideways, often represented by the equation y=a where a is any real number.
if you mean the horizontal line on a graph t is refered to as the x axis or y=0
The marks you're describing represent the number 1 in a prescription. The horizontal line and dot are to help prevent reading errors.
H for horizontal. You may remember this by the letter H. Remember the ' - ' as the horizontal line which connects the ' l ' and ' l ' in the alphabet 'H'. ------------------- <-- This is a horizontal line. | | | | <-- This is a vertical line. | |
It means that the function is constant.
What it means is horizontal line is like the horizon it goes across
What do you mean? As in if you connect two points that make a horizontal line? Are you trying to figure out the Slope? The slope of a horizontal line is 0. And the slope of a vertical line is undifined. If that's what you were asking. Or if you were asking plainly what it is when that happens, it's just a horizontal line.

Those are parralel lines.
It shows that the pair mated. :)

On a graph, you will have a vertical numbered line and a horizontal numbered line. The vertical one is called the "y-axis" and the horizontal is the "x-axis." You are either looking for a line, shape, or arc that touches, or "intercepts" on the x-axis (horizontal line).
