Solve y - y_1 = m(x - x_1) for y_1.

Hint: Isolate y_1

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)
y=m(x-x_1)+y_1
y_1=m(x-x_1)-y

Very cool. I think this is called a literal equation.

Yes, it is called a literal equation. physics has a lot of literal equations

After solving for the variable in question, the solution are typically complex fractions.
