The following screen shows that functions EXPM and LNP1 do not apply to
complex numbers. However, functions GAMMA, PSI, and Psi accept complex
numbers:

Function DROITE: equation of a straight line

Function DROITE takes as argument two complex numbers, say, x

1

+iy

1

and

x

2

+iy

2

, and returns the equation of the straight line, say, y = a+bx, that

contains the points (x

1

,y

1

) and (x

2

,y

2

). For example, the line between points

A(5,-3) and B(6,2) can be found as follows (example in Algebraic mode):

Function DROITE is found in the command catalog (

‚N).


Using EVAL(ANS(1)) simplifies the result to:
