\section{Introduction}
With the purpose of discovering the different fields of study within the umbrella term mathematics, I came across numerical analysis which sparked my interest as it implements algorithms with the aim of solving math- ematical analysis problems with continuous variables. After some further research, I discovered the Weierstrass approximation theorem, defining the key element of polynomial approximation being that \textit{‘any continuous func- tion on a closed and bounded interval can be uniformly approximated on that interval by polynomials to any degree of accuracy.’} \footnote{https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/weierstrass-approximation} Essentially, this states that a graph which consists of a single unbroken curve in a defined domain can be expressed by a polynomial function whose precision in approximating is determined by its degree. With the aim of analyzing the application of this theorem, I will consider a continuous function which I will approximate with three different polynomial approximation methods.

\section{A few lines of calculations}
The formula of a slope can be proven as follows. For the points $A(x_1;y_1)$ and $B(x_2;y_2)$, that satisfy the equation, I establish:\begin{center}
$\begin{cases}
y_1=mx_1+b\\
y_2=mx_2+b
\end{cases}$
\end{center}
Thus, I can subtract one of these from the other:
\begin{eqnarray*}
&y_2-y_1 &= mx_1+b-(mx_2+b)\\
\Leftrightarrow& y_2-y_1 &= mx_1-mx_2\\
\Leftrightarrow& m &= \dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}
\end{eqnarray*}
This can be rewritten to find the formula, I used, of a straight line:
\begin{eqnarray*}
y_2&=&y_1+\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\cdot(x_1-x_2)
\end{eqnarray*}
%---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\section{A matrix}
To continue, we transfer our values into an augmented matrix.
$$
\begin{bmatrix}
7 & 1 & 4 \\
3 & 1 & 6
\end{bmatrix}
$$
The next step is to add $(-3)$ times the first line to $7$ times the second line to triangulize the matrix.
$$
\Leftrightarrow
\begin{bmatrix}
21 & 3 & 12\\
\textcolor{red}{0} & -4 & -30
\end{bmatrix}
$$

\section{Inserting a graph from GeoGebra}
Below you can see the graphical representation of $y = -\dfrac{1}{2} x+ \dfrac{15}{2}$.
\begin{figure}[h!]

\resizebox{0.8\linewidth}{!}{%
\begin{tikzpicture}[line cap=round,line join=round,>=triangle 45,x=1cm,y=1cm,scale=1]
\begin{axis}[

\clip(-8.88,-5.33) rectangle (21.76,13.77);
\draw [line width=2pt,domain=-8.88:21.76] plot(\x,{(--7.5-0.5*\x)/1});
\begin{normalsize}
\draw [fill=ududff] (7,4) circle (2.5pt);
\draw[color=ududff] (7.8,4.42) node {$A(7;4)$};
\draw [fill=ududff] (3,6) circle (2.5pt);
\draw[color=ududff] (3.8,6.42) node {$B(3;6)$};
\draw[color=black] (10.45,0.89) node {$y=-\dfrac{1}{2}x+\dfrac{15}{2}$};

\end{axis}
\end{tikzpicture}}
\caption{Linear model representing $y=-\frac{1}{2} x+ \frac{15}{2}$}
\label{fig:GeoGebra_line}
\end{figure}
As you can see in Figure \ref{fig:GeoGebra_line}, the line passes through the two previously chosen points; $A(7;4)$ and $B(3;6)$, which indicates that our model is correct, that we made no mistakes in our calculations.
