Abstract. We show that every cubic graph can be drawn in the plane with straight-line edges using only the four basic slopes, {0, π/4, π/2, 3π/4}. We also prove that four slopes have this property if and only if we can draw K4 with them.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
