The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is y=my+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?

Answer:

m=(y-b)/x

Explanation:

In this equation if we want to find an equivalent equation for any of the letters what we need is to left that letter in one side and all the others letters in the other side

At the begining whe have y=mx+b and we need the m alone in one side

y-b=mx

(y-b)/x=m
