I am using the below codes to plot a line with two slopes as shown in the picture.The slope should should decline after certain limit [limit=5]. I am using vectorisation method to set the slope values.Is there any other method to set the slope values.Could anyone help me in this?
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
#Setting the condition
L=5 #Limit
m=1 #Slope
c=0 #Intercept
x=np.linspace(0,10,1000)
#Calculate the y value
y=m*x+c
#plot the line
plt.plot(x,y)
#Set the slope values using vectorisation
m[(x
m[(x>L)] = 0.75
# plot the line again
plt.plot(x,y)
#Display with grids
plt.grid()
plt.show()

You may be overthinking the problem. There are two line segments in the picture:
From (0, 0) to (A, A')
From (A, A') to (B, B')
You know that A = 5, m = 1, so A' = 5. You also know that B = 10. Given that (B' - A') / (B - A) = 0.75, we have B' = 8.75. You can therefore make the plot as follows:
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
m0 = 1
m1 = 0.75
x0 = 0 # Intercept
x1 = 5 # A
x2 = 10 # B
y0 = 0 # Intercept
y1 = y0 + m0 * (x1 - x0) # A'
y2 = y1 + m1 * (x2 - x1) # B'
plt.plot([x0, x1, x2], [y0, y1, y2])
Hopefully you see the pattern for computing y values for a given set of limits. Here is the result:
Now let's say you really did want to use vectorization for some obscure reason. You would want to compute all the y values up front and plot once, otherwise you will get weird results. Here are some modifications to your original code:
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
#Setting the condition
L = 5 #Limit
x = np.linspace(0, 10, 1000)
lMask = (x<=L) # Avoid recomputing this mask
# Compute a vector of slope values for each x
m = np.zeros_like(x)
m[lMask] = 1.0
m[~lMask] = 0.75
# Compute the y-intercept for each segment
b = np.zeros_like(x)
#b[lMask] = 0.0 # Already set to zero, so skip this step
b[~lMask] = L * (m[0] - 0.75)
# Compute the y-vector
y = m * x + b
# plot the line again
plt.plot(x, y)
#Display with grids
plt.grid()
plt.show()
