Question

Solve Q²= a(p²-b²)/p in form of y=mx+c

Answer 1

We want to rewrite:

q^2 = a*(p^2 - b^2)/p

as a linear equation, in the form:

y = m*x + c

So we start with:

q^2 = a*(p^2 - b^2)/p

we can expand the left side to get:

q^2 = (a/p)*p^2 - (a/p)*b^2

q^2 = a*p - (a/p)*b^2

Now we can ust define:

a*p = c

Then we can replace that to get:

q^2 = -(a/p)*b^2 + c

now we can replace:

q^2 = y

b^2 = x

Replacing these, we get:

y = -(a/p)*x + c

finally, we can replace:

-(a/p) = m

then we got the equation:

y = m*x + c

where:

y = q^2

x = b^2

c = a*p

m = -(a/p)
