Explained: Linear Interpolation [Math]

In this video, I explain how to obtain the equation for linear interpolation between two points. I then go through a simple example.

Linear interpolation can be useful when you need data at points where data does not exist. This happens a lot when looking at tabulated data. Here are some examples of tabulated data where linear interpolation can come in handy:
- Steam/vapor tables in thermodynamics
- Property tables in heat transfer
- Normal shock tables and isentropic relations tables in gas dynamics

In the video linked to below, I show you how to program this equation into a graphing calculator (TI-83), so you can use it on exams or whenever you need a quick estimate.
