The discussion focuses on the 3-point problem and the application of Cramer’s Rule in evaluating strike. The key confusion arises from the need to plot the slope with x as a function of y when using arctan for the slope in the horizontal xy plane. A reference paper is provided for further clarification, specifically pointing to equation 26. The original poster, Pati, later indicates that they resolved their confusion after some reflection. This highlights the importance of understanding the relationship between variables in mathematical evaluations.

Evaluation of Strike and the 3 point problem...

If anyone in ehre is familiar with the 3-point problem and Cramers Rule, I need some help.

In the evaluation of strike, you are supposed to take the equation for the plane in the horizontal xy plane. But when you arctan the slope, you are supposed to use the slope with x plotted as a functin of y. I don't quite understand this concept. If you need a better explanation you can read about it in this paper written by my teacher.

Its equation 26.

Any help would be appreciated.
