a straight line equation is y=mx+c where x is the first value of an ordered pair and y is the second (x,y) m is the slope of that line and c is the y intercept , the point that the straight line cuts y-axis
In coordinate geometry, each point in the plane is identified by an ordered pair, (x,y) which are known as the coordinates of the point. The equation of any straight line in the coordinate plane can be written in the form y = mx + c so that the coordinates of each point on the line satisfies this equation (and the coordinates of a point outside the line doed not satisfies it). The equation in this form is known as the slope-intercept form. m is the slope and c is the intercept.
The two points would have to be plotted in 4-dimensional hyperspace. Conceptually straightforward, physically impossible.
Assuming the line A to B is straight ahead, and perpendicular to the line A to C : A to B is 100 yds, A to C is 50 yds. If C is directly to the right of A, you have a right-angle triangle. The distance from C to B is the hypotenuse. To find the hypotenuse of a right-angle triangle, use the formula A² + B² = C². Using the formula: A² + B² = C² 50² + 100² = C² 2500 + 10000 = C² 12500 = C² sq rt of 12500 = C 111.80339 = C (The distance from point C to point B is 111.80339 yards)
