ay-bx=mx
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
ay=mx+bx
Add bx to both sides.
ya=bx+mx
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{ya}{y}=\frac{x\left(b+m\right)}{y}
Divide both sides by y.
a=\frac{x\left(b+m\right)}{y}
Dividing by y undoes the multiplication by y.
ay-bx=mx
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
-bx=mx-ay
Subtract ay from both sides.
\left(-x\right)b=mx-ay
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(-x\right)b}{-x}=\frac{mx-ay}{-x}
Divide both sides by -x.
b=\frac{mx-ay}{-x}
Dividing by -x undoes the multiplication by -x.
b=\frac{ay}{x}-m
Divide mx-ay by -x.
ay-bx=mx
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
ay=mx+bx
Add bx to both sides.
ya=bx+mx
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{ya}{y}=\frac{x\left(b+m\right)}{y}

Subtract ay from both sides.
\left(-x\right)b=mx-ay
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(-x\right)b}{-x}=\frac{mx-ay}{-x}
Divide both sides by -x.
b=\frac{mx-ay}{-x}
Dividing by -x undoes the multiplication by -x.
b=\frac{ay}{x}-m
Divide mx-ay by -x.
