y = m x + b

$y = m x + b$

Step 1

Rewrite the equation as

m x + b = y

$m x + b = y$ .

m x + b = y

$m x + b = y$

Step 2

Subtract

b

$b$ from both sides of the equation.

m x = y - b

$m x = y - b$

Step 3

Divide each term in

m x = y - b

$m x = y - b$ by

m

$m$ and simplify.

Step 3.1

Divide each term in

m x = y - b

$m x = y - b$ by

m

$m$ .

\frac{m x}{m} = \frac{y}{m} + \frac{- b}{m}

$\frac{m x}{m} = \frac{y}{m} + \frac{- b}{m}$

Step 3.2.1.1

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{m x}{m} = \frac{y}{m} + \frac{- b}{m}$

Step 3.2.1.2

Divide

$x$ by

$1$ .

$x = \frac{y}{m} + \frac{- b}{m}$

$x = \frac{y}{m} + \frac{- b}{m}$

$x = \frac{y}{m} + \frac{- b}{m}$

Step 3.3

Step 3.3.1

Move the negative in front of the fraction.

$x = \frac{y}{m} - \frac{b}{m}$

$x = \frac{y}{m} - \frac{b}{m}$

$x = \frac{y}{m} - \frac{b}{m}$
