A second hyperplane
numeric▲△△For and , write the boundary equation and give the class and signed distance of , , , . Then say which point the boundary would reach first if were increased.
Hint
Increasing raises every score by the same amount, so it slides the boundary without rotating it. The first point to flip is the one with the smallest positive score.
Solution
Boundary. , i.e. .
Norm. .
| Point | Score | Distance | Class |
|---|---|---|---|
Which flips first. Decreasing lowers every score equally. and tie at , so both flip together at . Going the other way, increasing raises scores: at flips before at , at .
What that shows. The bias is a translation, not a rotation. It moves the boundary along its own normal and cannot change which side of the plane through the origin a point sits on. Any question that requires re-orienting the boundary needs to change, and the bias cannot help.
The tie between and is worth noting: two points at different locations can be equidistant from a boundary, because distance to a hyperplane collapses coordinates into one number.
