The NBA officially adopted it in the 1989-90 season, but the idea was first thought of in the 30's and 40's
Anybasket inside the 3 point line
1 pointer-free throw 2 pointer-shot made within the 3 point line 3 pointer-shot made behind the 3 point line
(3, 18), (3, 18) is just one point: it does not define a line.
in 1979-80 season, the NBA adopted the three-point shot.
It is believed that the first NBA three-point shot was made in 1979. The player credited with making that shot was Chris Ford.
3, hence the name "the 3-point line"
1989-90
The line ( y = 3 ) is a horizontal line. The distance from the point ( (5, 4) ) to this line can be found by calculating the vertical distance between the point and the line. Since the y-coordinate of the point is 4 and the line is at ( y = 3 ), the distance is ( |4 - 3| = 1 ). Therefore, the distance from the point ( (5, 4) ) to the line ( y = 3 ) is 1 unit.
If a "3 point line" refers to a line that is three points wide, then the line is 3/72 inches wide, or 1/24 inches wide.
Each basket is worth 1 point at the foul line, 2 points inside of the 3-point line, and 3 points outside of the 3-point line.
point, line and plane
if a line has a slope of -2 and a point on the line has coordinates of (3, -5) write an equation for the line in point slope form
foul shot = 1 point any shot within or on the 3 point line = 2 points any shot beyond the 3 point line = 3 points
Which of the following is the point-slope equation of the line with a slope equals -4 and a point of -2 3?
3 points, hence "the 3-point line." But it depends on whether the ball goes through the hoop.
To reflect a point over the line ( y = x ), you swap its x-coordinate and y-coordinate. For the point ( (3, -2) ), the reflection over the line ( y = x ) results in the point ( (-2, 3) ). Therefore, the coordinates of the reflected point are ( (-2, 3) ).
