👉 In the context of mathematics, a "proximate" concept refers to a point or value that is close to another point or value. This concept is often used in geometry and analysis to compare distances between points on the same line. For example, if we have two points A(x1, y1) and B(x2, y2), then the distance AB can be thought of as the length of the straight line segment connecting those two points. However, if we want to find a point
