Re: TIB: Need help with math prog I am writing
if I am understanding you right, you mean turn the points (x1,y1) and
(x2,y2) into the line y=mx+k.
here is how you do it.
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
then plug m into the equation
y=x*(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)+k
plug in a coordinate ( (x1,y1) used here)
y1=x1*(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)+k
and solve for k
k=y1-x1*(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
If this isn't what you need, just say so.
