Hi I would like to write functions that return equations. I would like to know what the preferred method in SAGE for doing so is.
This is what I have now: def line_two_points(point1,point2): r""" Returns an equation of a line passing through point1 and point2. EXAMPLES: sage: line_two_points((3,4),(8,7)) 'y = 3/5*x + 11/5' sage: line_two_points((9,3),(6,7)) 'y = -4/3*x + 15' sage: line_two_points((2,5),(8,9)) 'y = 2/3*x + 11/3' AUTHOR: Timothy Clemans """ return "y = %s" % str((point2[1]-point1[1])/(point2[0]-point1[0])*x + (point1[1]-(point2[1]-point1[1])/(point2[0]-point1[0])*point1[0])) I don't want the ' at the beginning and end. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-support@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URLs: http://sage.math.washington.edu/sage/ and http://sage.scipy.org/sage/ -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
