Pole and polar information


The polar line q to a point Q with respect to a circle of radius r centered on the point O. The point P is the inversion point of Q; the polar is the line through P that is perpendicular to the line containing O, P and Q.

In geometry, a pole and polar are respectively a point and a line that have a unique reciprocal relationship with respect to a given conic section.

Polar reciprocation in a given circle is the transformation of each point in the plane into its polar line and each line in the plane into its pole.
