Okay, stupid question. How would I find out what X is in this linear pattern?

Posted by Will Hunting (aka kelly) Jan 28 '09, 15:31

I have 3 different x/y groups.

150, 1.5
300, 2.0
200, X

I want to know how to solve for the x in this in a manner that I could write some code in Excel.

or, solve this equation. - psilotum Jan 28, 15:40
you need the SLOPE and INTERCEPT functions. -- nm - psilotum Jan 28, 15:32 1
- They will give you m and b, respectively, of y=mx+b, based on 2 or more coordinates. - psilotum Jan 28, 15:34
