How do you find the equation of a line with Guassian elimination given two points?

Mathematics

Paraphin [41]3 years ago

Answer:

  The solution is similar to the 2-point form of the equation for a line:

  y = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)·x + (y1) -(x1)(y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the two points, write two equations in the unknowns of the equation of the line.

For example, you can use the equation ...

  y = mx + b

Then for the points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) you have two equations in m and b:

  b + (x1)m = (y1)

  b + (x2)m = (y2)

The corresponding augmented matrix for this system is ...

  \left[\begin{array}{cc|c}1&x1&y1\\1&x2&y2\end{array}\right]

____

The "b" variable can be eliminated by subtracting the first equation from the second. This puts a 0 in row 2 column 1 of the matrix, per <em>Gaussian Elimination</em>.

  0 + (x2 -x1)m = (y2 -y1)

Dividing by the value in row 2 column 2 gives you the value of m:

  m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)

This value can be substituted into either equation to find the value of b.

  b = (y1) -(x1)(y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1) . . . . . substituting for m in the first equation

Answer:

(1,6) , (2,7) , (3,8) , (4,9) , (5,10)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation: y = x + 5

when x = 1, y = 1 + 5 = 6

(1,6)

when x = 2, y = 7

(2,7)

when x = 3 , y = 8

(3,8)

when x = 4 , y = 9

(4,9)

when x = 5 , y = 10

(5,10)

Hunter placed 2 red, 3 blue, 1 yellow, 8 black, and 7 white straws into a bag.
Sphinxa [80]
7/21 or 1/3rd, it's just a ratio of white to all, there's 7 white straws and 21 in all, then you can simplify it down to 1/3rd.
