BIG MAC GRID MAP ATTACK

REPRESENTING POINTS WITH LINES

AT McDONALD'S SIX FLAGS OVER MID-AMERICA

Consider using general linear eqations y = m x + b, y - y1 = m ( x - x1)
or (y - y1)/(y2 - y1) = (x - x1)/(x2 - x1) to write the map location for
McDonald's Restaurant. Here are some results.

Next we have a key map to show the location of points and lines.
BIG MAC COORDINATE MAP
It is a good idea to plot the information to see if it comes close to the expected shap and location.

The points of intersection of the lines should correspond to the corners of the building.
