Hi there,
I've been having a problem understanding how to derive a formula. I have here a lemma that states:
A line L is a set of points (x,y) in R^2 where (x,y) satisfy the equation ax + by = c with (a,b) are not trivial and every such equation determines a line. This can be rewritten as:
xsin(r) - ycos(r) + p = 0
Maybe I'm constantly doing something wrong but I've tried to do tricks with the vector form of a line and polar coordinates but to no avail :(
Anyone got an idea?
