L INEAR E QUATION Solving Ax = B
E XAMPLE A PPLICATION Constructing a line passing two points
L INE P ASSING T WO P OINTS Line equation ax + by + c = 0 Given the point P1 = (3,5) and P2 = (-1, 2) find the equation a x + b y + c = 0 that passes through the points A and B.
S ET UP THE E QUATION We want to know a,b and c in terms of x and y Know the relation between a,b,c and x,y
M ATRIX E QUATION Solve the equation Ax = B A = x = B =
See that b = [0]? We (will soon) know that Note that Ax = 0 has a nonzero solution if and only if det(a) = 0 We can use cofactor expansion
C OFACTOR E XPANSION
It is 3x – 4y + 11 = 0 i.e., a = 3, b = -4, c = 11
