3x = -5y -------------- (1)
6x - 7y = 17 --------- (2)
From (1):
3x = -5y
x = -5/3 y ---------- sub into (2)
6 (-5/3 y) - 7y = 17
-10y - 7y = 17
-17y = 17
y = -1 ------------ Sub into (1)
3x = -5 (-1)
3x = 5
x = 5/3
Ans: x = 5/3, y = -1
To solve for m we want to get m by itself on one side of the equals sign, with everything else on the other side. First we subtract b from both sides, to get it out of the right side of the equation:
y - b = mx + b - b
y - b = mx
Now we divide both sides by x, to get m completely by itself:
(y-b)/x = (mx)/x
(y-b)/x = m
So m is equal to (y-b)/x.
