Question

Given the formula below, solve for x.

Answer 1

Answer:

Option (C)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given formula of a line passing through $(x_1, y_1)$ and slope 'm' is,

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

Further solving this equation,

$y-y_1=mx-mx_1$ [By distributive property]

$y-y_1+mx_1=(mx-mx_1)+mx_1$ [By adding $mx_1$ on both the sides]

$y-y_1+mx_1=mx$

$\frac{y-y_1-mx_1}{m}=\frac{mx}{m}$ [Divide the equation by m]

$\frac{y-y_1}{m}-x_1=x$

Therefore, Option (C) will be the answer.
