One way to collapse the graph of a scalar-valued function of two variables into a two-dimensional plot is through level curves. A level curve of a function $f(x,y)$ is the curve of points $(x,y)$ where $f(x,y)$ is some constant value. A level curve is simply a cross section of the graph of $z=f(x,y)$ taken at a constant value, say $z=c$. A ...
Nov 16, 2022 · The level curves of the function \(z = f\left( {x,y} \right)\) are two dimensional curves we get by setting \(z = k\), where \(k\) is any number. So the equations of the level curves are \(f\left( {x,y} \right) = k\).
The level curves are given by $x^2-y^2=c$. For $c=0$, we have $x^2=y^2$; that is, $y=\pm x$, two straight lines through the origin. For $c=1$, the level curve is $x^2-y^2=1$, which is a hyperbola passing vertically through the $x$-axis at the points $(\pm 1,0)$.

What is a level curve?
For example the curve at height z = 1 is the circle x2 + y2 = 1. On the graph we have to draw this at the correct height. Another way to show this is to draw the curves in the xy-plane and label them with their z-value. We call these curves level curves and the entire plot is called a contour plot.
