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?

Answer:


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

Explanation:

we know that

The equation of the line into slope-intercept form is equal to


y=mx+b

where

m is the slope

b is the y-coordinate of the y-intercept

In this problem we need to solve for m

so

Subtract
b both sides


y-b=mx+b-b


y-b=mx

Divide by
x both sides


(y-b)/x=mx/x


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

y = mx + b \\ y - b = mx \\ (y - b)/(x) = m
