How To: Use time/timestamp fields with FileMaker Pro 10

When defining fields in FileMaker Pro 10, one has to choose what type of field to decide for a database. There are two fields that accommodate special handling of data. They are time and time stamp fields. When one decides a field under manage>database,there is a option for "type". Under that, there is time and time stamp. The "time" one determines the time while the "time stamp" determines the time and date. This will help in preparing a proper and detailed database system.

How To: Find if a point lies on a line in point slope form

In this tutorial, the author shows how to determine if a point lies on a given line which is in Point Slope Form. To show the method he takes a sample point order pair and an equation of a line in its point slope form. Now he substitutes the value of the x, y order pair and the equation of the line, and solves the equation on both the sides. If both sides match it means that the point lies on the given line, or else it does not lie on the current line. In this video, the instructor shows how ...
