A while back in maths we were introduced to the linear equation in two forms:
[tex]a x + b y = c[/tex] (1)
[tex]y = m x + c[/tex] (2)
Now I can use both forms of these, but I was told that:
[tex] y = m x + c \Leftrightarrow a x + b y = c [/tex]
where [tex]m = \frac{a}{b} [/tex]
Thiis can't be right can it? As:
[tex]a x + b y = c [/tex]
[tex] b y = c - a x [/tex]
[tex] y = \frac{c}{b} - \frac{a x }{b}[/tex]
[tex]a x + b y = c[/tex] (1)
[tex]y = m x + c[/tex] (2)
Now I can use both forms of these, but I was told that:
[tex] y = m x + c \Leftrightarrow a x + b y = c [/tex]
where [tex]m = \frac{a}{b} [/tex]
Thiis can't be right can it? As:
[tex]a x + b y = c [/tex]
[tex] b y = c - a x [/tex]
[tex] y = \frac{c}{b} - \frac{a x }{b}[/tex]
