lin2: Linear function defined from two planar points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2)

Description

It gives the value of the linear function defined from two points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) at any x

Usage

lin2(x1, y1, x2, y2, x)

Arguments

x1

the x - abscissa of the first point

y1

the y - ordinate of the first point

x2

the x - abscissa of the second point

y2

the y - ordinate of the second point

x

the x - point where we compute the value of the linear function

Value

It returns the value of the linear function from (x1,y1) to (x2,y2) at an arbitrary x.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
x1<-1
y1<-3
x2<-5
y2<-7
x<-10
ylin<-lin2(x1,y1,x2,y2,x)
print(ylin)
# }
