line-coordinate (lin'ko-dr'di-nat), . One of 
a set of quantities, commonly three in a plane, 
or six in space, denning the position of a line. 
The ordinary line-coordinates are u, < , w, in the equation 
ux + vy + wt = 0, 
where x, y. z are the trilinear coordinates of a point in a 
plane. When these are taken as constant, while, u, v, u> 
are variable, the equation restricts aline to passing through 
that point, and any set of values of u, r, w define a line. 
The a>K>ve equation determines tlie incidence of the point 
on the line, whether M, v, w or x, y, z, or both, he variable. 
Th" pnvise geometrical significance of the line-coordi- 
nates depends upon that of the point-coordinates. The six 
lini'-coordinates in space are generally termed ray-coor- 
dinates.
