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 minus b x=ym+b x is equal to y over m plus b x=y+bm x is equal to the fraction with numerator y plus b and denominator m
To solve for x in terms of y, we need to isolate x on one side of the equation.
Starting with the equation y = mx + b, we can move the b term to the other side by subtracting b from both sides:
y - b = mx
Next, we can divide both sides by m to solve for x:
(x=m−yb)
Therefore, the correct answer is:
x = (y - b)/m
are you sure?
Apologies for the confusion. Let's solve it again correctly.
Starting with the equation y = mx + b, we can isolate x on one side by subtracting b from both sides:
y - b = mx
Next, we want to solve for x. To do this, divide both sides of the equation by m:
(y - b)/m = x
Therefore, the correct answer is:
x = (y - b)/m
