The equation of a line is given by y = mx + b . Solve for x in terms of y .

1 answer

To solve for x in terms of y, we can rearrange the equation as follows:

y = mx + b

Subtract b from both sides to isolate mx:

y - b = mx

Divide both sides by m to solve for x:

(x = (y - b) / m

Therefore, x in terms of y is equal to (y - b) / m.
