The equation of a line is given by y = mx + b . Solve for x in terms of y .(1 point) Responses x=y−bm x is equal to the fraction with numerator y minus b and denominator m x=ym +b x is equal to y over m plus b x = y + b m x is equal to the fraction with numerator y plus b and denominator m x=y m − b
To solve for x in terms of y, we need to isolate the variable x on one side of the equation.
Given the equation y = mx + b, we can start by subtracting b from both sides:
y - b = mx
Next, we divide both sides by m to isolate x:
(x's coefficient is multiplied by its denominator because it is in the numerator in the fraction form)
(x's coefficient: 1/m
x = (y - b)/m
Therefore, x = (y - b)/m is the solution for x in terms of y.
