y-kx=ax
Multiply both sides of the equation by x.
ax=y-kx
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
xa=y-kx
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{xa}{x}=\frac{y-kx}{x}
Divide both sides by x.
a=\frac{y-kx}{x}
Dividing by x undoes the multiplication by x.
a=-k+\frac{y}{x}
Divide y-xk by x.
y-kx=ax
Multiply both sides of the equation by x.
-kx=ax-y
Subtract y from both sides.
\left(-x\right)k=ax-y
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(-x\right)k}{-x}=\frac{ax-y}{-x}
Divide both sides by -x.
k=\frac{ax-y}{-x}
Dividing by -x undoes the multiplication by -x.
k=-a+\frac{y}{x}
Divide ax-y by -x.
