ax^{2}+bx+c=y
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
ax^{2}+c=y-bx
Subtract bx from both sides.
ax^{2}=y-bx-c
Subtract c from both sides.
x^{2}a=-bx+y-c
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{x^{2}a}{x^{2}}=\frac{-bx+y-c}{x^{2}}
Divide both sides by x^{2}.
a=\frac{-bx+y-c}{x^{2}}
Dividing by x^{2} undoes the multiplication by x^{2}.
ax^{2}+bx+c=y
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
bx+c=y-ax^{2}
Subtract ax^{2} from both sides.
bx=y-ax^{2}-c
Subtract c from both sides.
bx=-ax^{2}+y-c
Reorder the terms.
xb=-ax^{2}+y-c
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{xb}{x}=\frac{-ax^{2}+y-c}{x}
Divide both sides by x.
b=\frac{-ax^{2}+y-c}{x}
Dividing by x undoes the multiplication by x.
