AW: lingo-l calculating the point of intersection of two lines

Hi Sean, Mahesh, Robert and James! Thanks a lot - mille fois merci! I remember having learned these equations at school, but at 38 they had completely slipped out of my memory (which has become as volatile as my computer's RAM). Thanks again, you have done me a BIG favour! Have a nice time!

lingo-l calculating the point of intersection of two lines

2002-03-17 Thread Michael von Aichberger
Hi list! I have a mathematical problem that I am not able to solve on my own: Suppose you have two straight lines, defined by two points: Let's say point(x1, y1) and point(x2, y2) for line 1 and point(x3, y3) and point(x4, y4) for line 2. What's the algorithm for calculating the point

Suppose you have two straight lines, defined by two points: Let's say point(x1, y1) and point(x2, y2) for line 1 and point(x3, y3) and point(x4, y4) for line 2. What's the algorithm for calculating the point where these two lines intersect? Convert them both into the form y = mx + c
