curva
Explanation:
Curva (wikepedia português)
Em matemática, uma curva é um aplicação contínua cujo domínio é um intervalo. Por vezes também se chama curva à imagem dessa aplicação.
Se o intervalo for fechado e as imagens dos pontos inicial e final coincidirem a curva diz-se fechada. Se a função for injectiva (exceptuando a possibilidade de a curva ser fechada), a curva diz-se simples. A curva pode ainda ser adjectivada com as propriedades adicionais que tenha a função. Por exemplo, se a função for diferenciável, a curva diz-se diferenciável, etc.

Explanation:
Sei o quê é, mas não sei o equivalente em português. Veja se isto ajuda. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Locus_of_points
Locus (mathematics)
set of loci 2cm, 4cm, 6cm and 8cm from l towards P. These curves are half of the Conchoid of Nichomedes.

The epitrochoid is an example of a locus generated by a point on a disk rolling around a circle.

In mathematics, a locus (Latin for "place", plural loci) is a collection of points which share a property. The term 'locus' is usually used of a condition which defines a continuous figure or figures, that is, a curve. For example, a line is the locus of points equidistant from two fixed points or from two parallel lines.

The conic sections may be defined in terms of loci:

* A circle is the locus of points from which the distance to the center is a given value, the radius.
* An ellipse is the locus of points, the sum of the distances from which to the foci is a given value.
* A hyperbola is the locus of points, the difference of the distances from which to the foci is a given value.
* A parabola is the locus of points, the distances from which to the focus and to the directrix are equal.

linha, curva ou evolução de pontos


Explanation:
Fui ler o Wikipedia, tal como o colega anterior. Se eu tivesse de traduzir era assim que diria. Uma curva, linha ou evolução de pontos (gráficos).
