Chapter 7: Q. 7.80 (page 692)

Solve: $m = \frac{y - 5}{x - 4}$ for $y$ .

Short Answer

Expert verified

The solution is $y = m x - 4 m + 5$ .

Step by step solution

Step 1. Given

The given equation is: $m = \frac{y - 5}{x - 4}$ .

Step 2. To find

We have to solve the equation for $y$ .

Step 3. Calculation

Cross multiply and solve the equation.

$m = \frac{y - 5}{x - 4} m (x - 4) = y - 5 m x - 4 m = y - 5 y = m x - 4 m + 5$
