Question

The equation of a line is given by y=mx+b. Solve forms in terms of y

Answer 1

Answer: y-b / m = mx/m

Explanation:

This equation is in slope intercept form

where m is the slope and b is the intercept

If what you are asking is to solve for x in terms of y

Then, we will follow the steps below:

subtract b from both-side of the equation

y-b = mx + b- b

y-b = mx

divide both-side of the equation by m

y-b / m = mx/m

Answer 2

This equation is in slope intercept form

where m is the slope and b is the intercept

If what you are asking is to solve for x in terms of y

Then, we will follow the steps below:

subtract b from both-side of the equation

y-b = mx + b- b

y-b = mx

divide both-side of the equation by m

y-b / m = mx/m

`(Y-b)/(m)\text{ = X}`

`X\text{ = }\frac{Y\text{ - b}}{m}`
