Hi! Can anyone please send me a link or show me how to find a formula that will find any point between two other points?
Thank you, your help is greatly appreciated :)
Sure! To find a formula that will find any point between two other points, you can use the concept of linear interpolation. Linear interpolation is a method of estimating a value at any point between two known values based on the assumption that the values change linearly between the known points.
To find the formula, you can use the following steps:
Step 1: Begin with the two known points, let's call them (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), where (x1, y1) represents the first point and (x2, y2) represents the second point.
Step 2: Determine the x-coordinate of the point you want to find. We'll call it x.
Step 3: Use the following formula to calculate the y-coordinate of the point:
y = y1 + (x - x1) * ((y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1))
This formula assumes a linear relationship between x and y and calculates the corresponding y-coordinate based on the given x-coordinate.
Step 4: Substitute the values of x1, y1, x2, and y2 into the formula, and then substitute the value of x to find the corresponding y-coordinate between the two known points.
That's it! By using this formula, you can find any point between two other points using linear interpolation.
I hope this helps!
