x+%2B+by%2Fa+=+c%2Fa+ ....to find x , solve for x
x++=+c%2Fa+-by%2Fa
x++=+%28c+-by%29%2Fa


x+%2B+by%2Fa+=+c%2Fa+ ....to find y , solve for y
by%2Fa++=+c-x+
by++=+a%28c-x+%29
y++=+a%28c-x+%29%2Fb
y++=+%28a%2Fb%29%28c-x+%29


m+-+ny%2Fx+=+d%2Fx......to find x , solve for x
m++=+d%2Fx%2Bny%2Fx
m++=+%28d%2Bny%29%2Fx
mx++=+%28d%2Bny%29
x++=+%28d%2Bny%29%2Fm

m+-+ny%2Fx+=+d%2Fx......to find y , solve for y

m+-+d%2Fx+=++ny%2Fx
x%28m+-+d%2Fx%29+=++ny
%28mx+-+d%29+=++ny
y=%28mx+-+d%29%2Fn
