The Geometric Interpretation of Homographic Equations and their Application to loci and Envelopes*
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 03 November 2016
Extract
If two lines are divided in such a way that any point on one corresponds to one and only one point on the other, the lines are said to be divided homographically, and any relation between the segments which gives the variable point on one corresponding uniquely to a variable point on the other is a homographic equation.
These equations are of two types:
(α), which contains the term xx', may be said to be of the second order, and (β), in which the term xx' is wanting, may be said to be of the first order.
