Step 3.1

Rewrite the equation as $\arctan (x) + K = \arctan (y)$ .

$\arctan (x) + K = \arctan (y)$

Step 3.2

Subtract $K$ from both sides of the equation.

$\arctan (x) = \arctan (y) - K$

Step 3.3

Take the inverse arctangent of both sides of the equation to extract $y$ from inside the arctangent.

$x = \tan (\arctan (y) - K)$

Step 3.4

Rewrite the equation as $\tan (\arctan (y) - K) = x$ .

$\tan (\arctan (y) - K) = x$

Step 3.5

Take the inverse tangent of both sides of the equation to extract $\arctan (y)$ from inside the tangent.

$\arctan (y) - K = \arctan (x)$

Step 3.6

Add $K$ to both sides of the equation.

$\arctan (y) = \arctan (x) + K$

Step 3.7

Take the inverse arctangent of both sides of the equation to extract $y$ from inside the arctangent.

$y = \tan (\arctan (x) + K)$

Step 3.8

Since $y$ is on the right side of the equation, switch the sides so it is on the left side of the equation.

$\tan (\arctan (y) - K) = x$

Step 3.9

Take the inverse tangent of both sides of the equation to extract $\arctan (y)$ from inside the tangent.

$\arctan (y) - K = \arctan (x)$

Step 3.10

Add $K$ to both sides of the equation.

$\arctan (y) = \arctan (x) + K$

Step 3.11

Take the inverse arctangent of both sides of the equation to extract $y$ from inside the arctangent.

$y = \tan (\arctan (x) + K)$
