TI-84 Plus: Intersection of two lines – program by Jack Kesler

TI-84 Plus:  Intersection of two lines – program by Jack Kesler

Special thanks to Jack Kessler for providing the program CPXINT.  CPXINT uses complex numbers to determine:

* The equation of a line between two points.  CPXINT uses two lines:

            y = Ax + B for coordinates N1, E1 and N2, E2.
            y = Cx + D for coordinates N3, E3 and N4, E4

* The intersection of the two lines, labeled by point N5, E5.

Keep in mind N is for North (y axis) and E is for East (x axis).

Note:  Initialize all the variables by choosing option 1, SETUP.  Choose 2 for input, 3 for equations of the lines, and 4 for intersection.

Example:

Line 1:  N1 = 0, E1 = 1, N2 = 7, E2 = 2. 
Line 2:  N3 = 4, E3 = 3,  N4 = 4, E3 = -3

Results:
Y = AX + B:  A = 0,  B =  4
Y = CX + D:  C = 7,  D = -7
Intersection:  N5 = 4,  E5 = 1.571428571


Thank you Jack!
