Question

What is the result of solving this equation for x?

y−b=m(x−a)

Answer 1

y − b = m(x − a)

y − b = mx - ma

(y - b) / m = x - a

((y-b)/m) + a = x

Answer 2

( y-b) / m +a = x

Explanation:

y−b=m(x−a)

Divide each side by m

(y−b)m=m/m(x−a)

( y-b)/m = x-a

Add a to each side

( y-b) / m +a = x-a+a

( y-b) / m +a = x
