Linear Interpolation

Linear interpolation is a method for estimating a value that falls between two known data points. Imagine plotting two points on a graph—each representing specific values at certain positions—and drawing a straight line connecting them. If you want to find the value at a position between these two points, you can locate it along this straight line. Essentially, linear interpolation assumes the change between points is steady, providing a simple way to approximate intermediate values accurately when only some data points are known.
