				| A Math question?? |

				| Hi, 
 I facing a "simple" but complicated problem to me.
 
 I need to take some values from a linear graphic where:
 
 5Vdc = 1.0000Mpa
 1Vdc = 0.0000Mpa
 0,6Vdc = -0.100Mpa
 
 I have the "volts" but i can´t make the formula to get the midle values.
  of Mpa 
 Mpa = units of a pressure sensor.
 
 Thanks in advance
 RR2.

 if it is a line the formula is y = x*m + offset, the offset is the value for x=0 so if x is Mpa the offset is 1Vdc, m is the slope, that is (5Vdc-1Vdc)/1Mpa = 4Vdc/Mpa
 
 y = x*4Vdc/Mpa + 1Vdc, with x the value in Mpa and y the result in Vdc
 
 if you have volts, you can do x = (y-1)/4, that is your formula
