Question 945483: Can this equation be transformed into a simple linear form?
b0*x0 + b1*x1 = 1
Where x0 and x1 are a list of known values and parameters b0 and b1 need to be estimated.
When I try to solve so that "y" or x0 is on the left hand side of the equation, I get this:
x0=(1/b0)-((b1*x1)/b0)
which doesn't seem to follow the standard "y=mx+b"
Thanks

Why not?
If m=%28-b%5B1%5D%29%2Fb%5B0%5D and b=1%2Fb%5B0%5D, then
x%5B0%5D=mx%5B1%5D%2Bb
