= Negative pedal curve
{wiki=Negative_pedal_curve}
A negative pedal curve is a type of curve in mathematics, specifically in the context of polar coordinates. In polar coordinates, a point is represented by its distance from the origin and the angle it makes with a reference direction. The concept of pedal curves relates to how a point moves along a given curve (called the base curve) while maintaining a specific distance from that curve, typically along a line that is perpendicular (normal) to the base curve.
