Question

The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is y = mx + b, where x and y are coordinates of an ordered pair, m is the slope of the line, and b is where the line crosses the y-axis.

Which is an equivalent equation solved for the slope, m?


m = yx + b

m= y-b/x

m= y/x-b

m= y-b/x

Answer 1

B

Explanation:

Correct On Edge

Answer 2

To solve for m you have to isolate it.

Subtract the b from both sides:
y-b=mx

Divide by x:
(y-b)/x=m

Answer:
m=(y-b)/x
