Question

Express y in terms of x in the equation ax + by = c where b ≠ 0.

a). y = (a/b)x + c/b
b). y = (a/b)x - c/b
c). y = -(a/b)x + c/b
d). y = -(a/b)x - c/b

Answer 1

c

Explanation:

ax + by = c ( subtract ax from both sides )

by = - ax + c ( divide all terms by b )

y = -
`(a)/(b)` x +
`(c)/(b)`
