You can put this solution on YOUR website! The following are a set of points, where there is one unknown value. Use linear interpolation to determine the unknown value, y. Provide your answer to two decimal places.
( , )=( , )
( , )=( , )
( , )=(, )
all points lie on same line
find equation of the line using two of the given points
The equation of a line is typically written as  where  is the slope and  is the y-intercept.
first use points to find the slope
so far your equation is:
 .........use one point to calculate
your equation is:
now calculate missing coordinate (,)
answer:
( ,)

------------------------
Tho the instruction to use linear interpolation implies that it's a straight line, it should be specified.
