NYC: The Linear Equation of Broadway
STREET = 9.975 × AVENUE - 26.5
While in New York City I walked along Broadway with graph paper and plotted where it crosses the street and avenues.
Most of Manhattan is horizontal streets and vertical avenues, but the road Broadway cuts across on an angle. Using the grid system of roads in NYC I could calculate the liner equation of Broadway.
I had some fun with places like Union Square and the Flatiron Building along the way. You can also check-out when MoMath checked the pythagorasness of the Flatiron Building here: http://momath.org/home/pythagorize-the-flatiron/
