What these numbers mean
  • Between (0,10) and (10,30), x=5 gives y=20. The formula distributes the y change in proportion to x.

x₁ and x₂ must differ. No extrapolation outside the interval; the tool does not establish that your data are linear.

How to use this page
  1. Enter values or use the example in the form.
  2. Choose a mode or units where available.
