Solve the equation

Y = 3x + 1

3 answers

This equation is already solved for y. it is a linear equation in y = mx + c form, where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept. The slope is 3 and the y-intercept is 1.
Perhaps you want to solve it for x?
m x = y - c subtracting
c from both sides and reversing
then divide both sides by m
x = y/m - c/m
or
x = ( y - c ) / m
.
Yes, you are correct. To solve the equation for x, we can rearrange it as follows:

Y = 3x + 1

Subtracting 1 from both sides:
Y - 1 = 3x

Dividing both sides by 3:
(Y - 1)/3 = x

So, the equation can be rewritten as:
x = (Y - 1)/3
