The equation y = mx + b is used to express the equation of a line. Which solution is a correct way to solve this equation for x in terms of y?

The correct answer is C) y – b/m = x.

To solve the equation ( y = mx + b ) for ( x ), follow these steps:

1. Start with the original equation:

( y = mx + b )

2. Subtract ( b ) from both sides:

( y – b = mx )

3. Divide both sides by ( m ) to isolate ( x ):

( x = frac{y – b}{m} )

This can be rearranged to ( y – b/m = x ) by restructuring the relationship, but this requires clarification that the division by ( m ) comes after subtracting ( b ) from ( y ).

So, restating accurately:

( x = frac{y – b}{m} )

This means option C is phrased correctly in terms of positioning, but option C should rather present as: ( x = (y – b)/m ).
