problem 1.2

[venkatesh-devale]

Hello All,

I am not able to understand proceed on this problem. Please can some one just explain how can we do this?

I converted x2 = a*x1 + b to a*x1 + b - x2 = 0 for the line equation and hence the w0 = b, w1 = a and w2 = -1. Is this even correct?

Can someone please help me on this?

The problems ask you to express and by , not the other way around. So you should probably repeat what you do but from another angle.

So as x2 = a*x1 + b classifies the set correctly which means for every x1, x2 on this line a*x1 + b - x2 = 0 hence w0*x0 + w1 * x1 + w2 * x2 = 0 for this line.

Considering these equations can we say that a = w1, b = w0 ? Is this correct now. Further what does the part 2 means what type of picture is expected?

If then the equation of the corresponding line is . That is, . The problem asks you to describe general procedure for any and then draw the corresponding line (along with which side to be positive) on the 2D plane for the specific . Hope this helps.

Thanks I got it, Thank you so much! It's great to have you guys around. There will be a lot of questions from me on this book as I am going through it and have no background.
