Question

The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is y=mx + b, where x and y are

1coordinates 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 1

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

Explanation:

Given

y = mx + b ( isolate the term in m by subtracting b from both sides )

y - b = mx ( divide both sides by x )

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