Lines through Origin
Let $\LL_1$, $\LL_2$, $\LL_3$ and $\LL_4$ be lines through the origin $O$ whose equations embedded in the Cartesian plane are as follows:
| \(\ds \LL_1: \ \ \) | \(\ds y\) | \(=\) | \(\ds \lambda x\) | |||||||||||
| \(\ds \LL_2: \ \ \) | \(\ds y\) | \(=\) | \(\ds \mu x\) | |||||||||||
| \(\ds \LL_3: \ \ \) | \(\ds y\) | \(=\) | \(\ds \lambda' x\) | |||||||||||
| \(\ds \LL_4: \ \ \) | \(\ds y\) | \(=\) | \(\ds \mu' x\) |
The cross-ratio of $\LL_1$, $\LL_2$, $\LL_3$ and $\LL_4$, in that specific order, is defined and denoted:
- $\tuple {\lambda \mu, \lambda', \mu'} := \dfrac {\paren {\lambda - \lambda'} \paren {\mu - \mu'} } {\paren {\lambda - \mu'} \paren {\mu - \lambda'} }$
Complex Analysis
Let $z_1, z_2, z_3, z_4$ be distinct complex numbers.
The cross-ratio of $z_1, z_2, z_3, z_4$ is defined and denoted:
- $\paren {z_1, z_3; z_2, z_4} = \dfrac {\paren {z_1 - z_2} \paren {z_3 - z_4} } {\paren {z_1 - z_4} \paren {z_3 - z_2} }$
