Plot horizontal and vertical lines passing through a point that is an intersection point of two lines in Matplotlib
To plot horizontal and vertical lines passing through a point, we can take the following steps
- Set the figure size and adjust the padding between and around the subplots.
- Create two lines using slopes (m1, m2) and intercepts (c1 and c2). Initialize the slopes and intercepts values.
- Create x data points using numpy.
- Plot x, m1, m2, c2 and c1 data points using plot() method.
- Using intercepts and slopes values, find the point of intersection.
- Plot horizontal and vertical lines with dotted linestyle.
- Plot xi and yi points on the plot
- To display the figure, use show() method.
Example
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt import numpy as np plt.rcParams["figure.figsize"] = [7.50, 3.50] plt.rcParams["figure.autolayout"] = True m1, c1 = 0.1, 2.0 m2, c2 = 2.0, -3.0 x = np.linspace(-10, 10, 500) plt.plot(x, x * m1 + c1, 'red') plt.plot(x, x * m2 + c2, 'green') plt.xlim(-2, 8) plt.ylim(-2, 8) xi = (c1 - c2) / (m2 - m1) yi = m1 * xi + c1 plt.axvline(x=xi, color='gray', linestyle='--') plt.axhline(y=yi, color='gray', linestyle='--') plt.scatter(xi, yi, color='black') plt.show()
