I have done i. With ii I cannot get an equation that does not include x as a part of the coefficient of x. The answer in the book is px=1-q(y/x). Compared to y=mx+c what are the equivalents of m and c?

Divide by x;
Move the qy/x around;
Here, you can take the Y as being x and X as being y/x.
This gives:
You can put it in the form Y = mX + c now? (Happy)
Yes, I suppose I would plot x against y/x.
I don't think the books answer is quite what is asked for. The left side needs to be divided by p and the right side multiplied by p.
Not quite... when you divide a side by p, you need to divide both sides by p.Quote:

Thats what I was thinking of. Thanks.
