Lab 4 - Whose Line Is It Anyway?
Write a complete
C++ program that when given the x and y coordinates of two points on a line,
the program calculates and displays the slope and the midpoint of that
line.
Given two points
(x1, y1) and (x2, y2) the formula
for the slope of a line is:

The formula for
the midpoint of a line is:

Your output should display the original two
points, the slope and the midpoint in a clear organized manner.
Test your program
with the following sets of points and two sets of your own choosing. This means you must run your program
SIX times!! You do not need to put each output on
separate sheets of paper (Remember GREEN!!)
|
Point1 |
Point2 |
|
(4, 6) |
(16, 18) |
|
(4, 6) |
(16, 19) |
|
(-10, 8) |
(14, 4.2) |
|
(3.4, -6) |
(20, 16) |
Sample Output
Please enter the x coordinate of the first point on
a line: 4
Please enter the y coordinate of the first point on
a line: 6
Please enter the x coordinate of the second point on
the line: 16
Please enter the y coordinate of the second point on
the line: 18
The first point's coordinate is: (4,6)
The second point's coordinate is: (16,18)
The slope of the line is: 1
The midpoint is: (10,12)
IMPORTANT -
Place the steps for the software development procedure in a comment at the top
of your program. Comment your code
judiciously.
HAND IN - Your
program along with the 6 sets of output produced.
