Answer

$$y = \frac{C - Ax}{B}$$ The original equation is the general equation of a line.

Work Step by Step

To solve the equation for $y$, we must isolate $y$: We first subtract $Ax$ from both sides: $$By = C - Ax$$ We now divide each side by $B$ to isolate $y$: $$y = \frac{C - Ax}{B}$$ The original equation is the general equation of a line.
