What is elliptical geometry and examples?
Elliptical geometry is like Euclidean geometry except that the "fifth postulate" is denied. Elliptical geometry postulates that no two lines are parallel.One example: define a point as any line through the origin. Define a line as any plane through the origin. In this system, the first four postulates of Euclidean geometry hold; through two points, there is exactly one line that contains them (i.e.: given two lines through the origin, there is one plane that contains them) and so on. However, it is nottrue that given a line and a point not on the line that there is a parallel line through the point (that is, given a plane through the origin, and a line through the origin, not on the plane, there is no other plane through the origin that is parallel to the given plane).
Is the line automatically nonproportional if it doesnt pass through the origin'?
No. The rectangular hyperbola does not pass through the origin but it represents inverse proportionality.
What are the characteristics of a line that has the equation y equals mx?
it's a straight line. Through the origin.
Y axis on a graph?
The vertical line passing through the origin
Which is an equation of a line with a slope of 3 that passes through the origin?
y = 3x
