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 = m equals StartFraction y minus b Over x EndFraction. m = m equals StartFraction y Over x EndFraction minus b. – b m = y – m equals y minus StartFraction b Over x EndFraction.

Answer 1

the answer is b

Answer 2

We have been given that 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. We are asked to solve the equation for slope.

First of all, we will subtract 'b'from both sides.

`y-b= mx+b-b`

`y-b= mx`

Let us switch the sides:

`mx=y-b`

Now we will divide both sides by x.

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

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

Therefore, the value of m is
`(y-b)/(x)`.
