Can Excel graph a line from an equation? y=3x+2
Can Excel do linear programming problems? I'm wondering if Excel can graph
from an equation rather than data points and can it identify points of intersection? |

Hi,
Have a look at Stephen Bullen's ChtFrmla example. http://www.oaltd.co.uk/Excel/SBXLPage.asp#Charting To calculate intersection you will probably need to create all the points in cells in order to use formula, which sort of negates the need for the non cell based approach Cheers Andy -- Andy Pope, Microsoft MVP - Excel http://www.andypope.info "GraphLady" wrote in message ...

If you know the functions why plot to find intersection?
y=mx+b Y=MX+B At intersection y=Y and x=X so: mx+b=Mx+B; therefore x=(B-b)/(m-M) and y=m(B-b)/(m-M)+b best wishes -- Bernard V Liengme Microsoft Excel MVP http://people.stfx.ca/bliengme remove caps from email "GraphLady" wrote in message ...

Why not use points? It's easier, and you can see the data.
