how to find intersection data between 2 function

5 views (last 30 days)
hi guys can u help me to find the data which is intersection between 2 line ?
this is my graph :
i have data for the blue-line graph. so that i have data for points A,B,C.
The red line is an extended linear line from point A to B.
The yellow line is an vertical line when X = C
How do i get the intersection data between red-line and yellow-line ? the code formula.

The red line represents the extrapolation up to the vertical line . The main concept here is to determine the equation of line and subsequently calculate the y-coordinate of the intersection point.
A = [0, 0]; % point A
B = [0.05, -150]; % point B
C = 0.125; % vertical line, x = C
figure(1)
plot([A(1), B(1)], [A(2), B(2)]), hold on
xline(C, '--'), grid on
xlabel x, ylabel y
%% Find the line equation between A and B
f = fit([A(1), B(1)]', [A(2), B(2)]', 'poly1')
f =
Linear model Poly1: f(x) = p1*x + p2 Coefficients: p1 = -3000 p2 = -0
%% Intersection coordinate
xi = C; % x-coordinate of the intersection
yi = f.p1*xi + f.p2 % y-coordinate of the intersection
yi = -375
fprintf('The coordinate of the intersection is (%.4f, %.4f).', xi, yi);
The coordinate of the intersection is (0.1250, -375.0000).
figure(2)
xr = B(1):0.001:C;
yr = f.p1*xr + f.p2;
plot([A(1), B(1)], [A(2), B(2)], 'LineWidth', 2), hold on
plot(xr, yr, 'LineWidth', 2)
plot(A(1), A(2), 'o', 'LineWidth', 2, 'MarkerSize', 12)
plot(xi, yi, 'o', 'LineWidth', 2, 'MarkerSize', 12)
plot(B(1), B(2), 'o', 'LineWidth', 2, 'MarkerSize', 12), hold off
xline(C, '-', {'x = 0.125'}, 'color', '#123456'), grid on
xlabel x, ylabel y, xlim([0, 0.3])

@Arif A rough idea:
% Assuming you have the following coordinates
% A(xA, yA), B(xB, yB), and the x-coordinate of C (xC)
xA = % (your data for xA)
yA = % (your data for yA)
xB = % (your data for xB)
yB = % (your data for yB)
xC = % (your data for xC)
% Calculate the slope of the line AB (red line)
m = (yB - yA) / (xB - xA);
% Calculate the y-coordinate of the intersection point with the yellow line
yIntersect = m * (xC - xA) + yA;
% Display the intersection point
fprintf('The intersection occurs at (x, y) = (%.2f, %.2f)\n', xC, yIntersect);
Note:
  • May need adjustment as per your requirement
