You don't have to use matrix math if you don't want to. You can use plain ole algebra.

Attached PDF has the cookbook formulas for computing a, b, c, d.

a=-(-2*y2+2*y1+(m2+m1)*x2+(-m2-m1)*x1)/(-x2^3+3*x1*x2^2-3*x1^2*x2+x1^3);

b=(-3*x2*y2+x1*((m2-m1)*x2-3*y2)+(3*x2+3*x1)*y1+(m2+2*m1)*x2^2+(-2*m2-m1)*x1^2)/(-x2^3+3*x1*x2^2-3*x1^2*x2+x1^3);

c=-(x1*((2*m2+m1)*x2^2-6*x2*y2)+6*x1*x2*y1+m1*x2^3+(-m2-2*m1)*x1^2*x2-m2*x1^3)/(-x2^3+3*x1*x2^2-3*x1^2*x2+x1^3);

d=(x1^2*((m2-m1)*x2^2-3*x2*y2)+x1^3*(y2-m2*x2)+(3*x1*x2^2-x2^3)*y1+m1*x1*x2^3)/(-x2^3+3*x1*x2^2-3*x1^2*x2+x1^3);
