Answer:

Simplifying

y + -1k = m(x + -1h)

Reorder the terms:

-1k + y = m(x + -1h)

Reorder the terms:

-1k + y = m(-1h + x)

-1k + y = (-1h * m + x * m)

-1k + y = (-1hm + mx)

Solving

-1k + y = -1hm + mx

Solving for variable 'k'.

Move all terms containing k to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-1y' to each side of the equation.

-1k + y + -1y = -1hm + mx + -1y

Combine like terms: y + -1y = 0

-1k + 0 = -1hm + mx + -1y

-1k = -1hm + mx + -1y

Divide each side by '-1'.

k = hm + -1mx + y

Simplifying

k = hm + -1mx + y
