Find the equation
that fits the following function.
Through a process of manipulation and
substitution on Equations 1 - 5, the following facts
are easily determined.
a = c = z
-b = 2a
y = -2a + 2w
Let's use these facts in Equation
6.
Recall Equation 6:
Substitution of the above facts into
Equation 6 gives
After factoring, our work gives two
solution.
a = 4w or a = w.
Which of the above
solutions give us the equation for the line that we desire?
