Convert fraction to float in c #
Can anyone please help. I am following the tutorial found here as I have a situation where I need to get the equation of a line in the form of the slope of a point i.e. y−y1=m(x−x1)
...
I get to step 3 of the tutorial with no problem, but then I get stuck. To go from this equation y−3=**3/11**(x−4)
to this 11y−33=3(x−4)
(getting rid of the fraction on the right), I have to multiply by 11 on both sides.
However, my problem is that I obviously won't use fractions, but floating point decimal numbers in C #. So my values will be 0.272727
, not 3/11. So I would need to multiply on both sides to give me the correct answer? Or can it be done?
My question is how can I get from this y−3=**0.272727**(x−4)
to 11y−33=3(x−4)
in decimal form?
Does anyone have any suggestions or alternatives that I can use?
Thank you in advance

First, before trying to run the expression that calculates your equation, you must determine what the substring denominator is , or alternatively, after that, multiply your equation and then try to calculate it. Or another way is to use the FRACTION Class

I think you are wrong in solving the equation for the calculation. You must first solve your equation in one form or another that you can actually calculate. Normal programming languages (not true for Mathematic, etc.) cannot deal with symbolic computation or unknowns. They can only evaluate the result of the expression given by the values for all used variables
