Question

Which equation is the result of solving y-p=m(x-q) for x?

x=y-p+mq / m

x= m (y-p)+q

x=m (y-p)+q

x=y-p-mq /m

picture is just for fun

Answer 1

Answer:
`x=(y-p+mq)/(m)`

Explanation:

The given equation:
`y-p=m(x-q)`

To solve for x, first we need to divide m on both the sides of the above equation, we get

`x-q=(y-p)/(m)`

Now for the second step , we need to add q on the both sides of the equation, we get

`x=(y-p)/(m)+q=(y-p+mq)/(m)`

Hence, the equation is the result of solving for x :
`x=(y-p+mq)/(m)`
