Question

The equation y=mx+b is the slope-intercept form of a linear equation.

Solve y=mx+b for m

Answer 1

Answer:
`m=(y-b)/(x)`

Explanation:

The equation of the line in Slope-Intercept form is:

`y=mx+b`

Where "m" is the slope of the line and "b" is the y-intercept.

To solve for the slope "m", you can follow these steps:

- Subtract "b" from both sides of the equation:

`y-b=mx+b-b\\\\y-b=mx`

- Divide both sides of the equation by "x". Then:

`(y-b)/(x)=(mx)/(x)\\\\m=(y-b)/(x)`
