Question

m=((Y-Y_0))/((X-X_0)) and i need to solve for x

Answer 1

like this?
\[\huge m=\frac{y-y_0}{x-x_0} \]

solve for x...?

Answer 2

yes thats exactly it! i just didnt know how to insert the subscripts!

Answer 3

multiply both sides by \(\large x-x_0 \) to get:
\[\large m(x-x_0)=y-y_0 \]
then divide both sides by m to get
\[\large x-x_0=\frac{y-y_0}{m} \]
then finally add \(\large x_0 \) to both sides:
\[\large x=\frac{y-y_0}{m}+x_0 \]

Answer 4

how would i verify that result on a test?

Answer 5

whadda ya meen?

Answer 6

the test asks that i verify my result and i have no idea how i would verify my answer. what you put is exactly how i answered it but i dont understand how to verify the problem

Answer 7

this is one way form the what is called point-slope form....
when you mean verify, i think that maybe you will be given a point and it will satisfy that equation we ended up with... ???

Answer 8

okay and i have another question and i was hoping you could walk me thru.. i need to solve (1/A)-(1/B)=(1/C) and i need to solve for A

Answer 9

ok...

Answer 10

dammit.... i got an "aw snap" message...
