If you were to graph a line on a coordinate plane, you would draw a set of points on that line. But what does this correspond to in the real world? In this article, we’ll explore the postulate of the ruler and see what it says about matching points on any line.
The rule postulate
The rule postulate states that the points on a line corresponding to the length of the ruler are evenly spaced. This is a useful theorem for drawing lines and other shapes on paper.
Your applications
According to the postulate of the ruler, a set of points on a line corresponds to a straight line. This postulate has many applications in mathematics and engineering. For example, it is used to find the length of a straight line between two points or to find the intersection of two lines.
Conclusion
The set of points on a line corresponds to the interval between two points on the line. This follows from the fact that a point corresponds to its real coordinates and that a coordinate system is associated with a straight line if and only if there is an interval between two points in real space corresponding to these coordinates.
Common Questions
The set of points on a line corresponds to the distance between these points.
