Do you know what a preimage is first???
M= -4/3
y=mx+b
y=(-4/3)x+b
5=(-4/3)*3 +b
b= 9
y=(-4/3)x+9
Answer: f(-6)= 50
Explanation: f(x)=5(3+-6)+5
So what you want to do for all of these is move the variable that you want to be the subject to one side of the equation and the other ones to the other side, then divide.
For example:
With number 1, m = 3n + 2p, since you want to make p the subject, first single out p by subtracting 3n from both sides.
m - 3n= 3n + 2p - 3n
2p = m - 3n
Then divide everything by 2.
2p / 2 = m/2 - 3n/2
p = , you could also say 1/2m - 3/2n
p = 1/2m - 3/2n
Next question: just do the same thing.
a = 3c - 4
a + 4 = 3c - 4 + 4
3c = a + 4
/3 /3 /3
c = 1/3a + 4/3
Next question: same process.
P - 2a = 2a - 2a + 2b
2b = P - 2a
/2 /2 /2
b = 1/2P - a
I think it would be (-1,5)
