y = mx + c
y - c = mx
(y-c)/m = x

The KEY to rearranging is to look at what's being done to the variable right now and do the exact opposite.

With Y = MX + C, you're:

1) Adding C, so you'd subtract it from both sides giving you Y-C = MX

2) Multiplying by M, so you'd divide by it giving you X = (Y-C) / M

X=(y-c):m

Y=M*X+C
M*X=Y-C
X=(Y-C)/M
