Experimental WME Service
The twoline.wme is a CGI-based WME service. It
receives form input and produces result in <meml>...</meml>.
The response is currently delivered under the type
application/mesp+xml
And your browser will ask you to store the result in a file.
We are considering exactly what media type designation to use
eventually, candidates are
application/xml, text/xml, text/meml, application/meml+xml (likely), ...
At present (June. 2003), it serves as a tool for experimentation in
the MESP (Mathematics Education Service Protocol).
Simultaneous Linear Equations in Two Variables
Given the equations for two straight lines, you can find
their point of intersection by
solving the two equations simultaneously.
The solution is a point on both lines, satisfying both equations.
Each equation, involving the variables x
and y, is in the general form
a * X + b * Y = c
where a, b, and c
are parameters representing fixed numbers for any given line.
