Question

The slope intercept form of a linear equation is y = mx + b. how do I solve the equation for x?

Answer 1

`x\text{ = }(y-b)/(m)`

Here, we want to make x the subject of the formula

We have this as;

`\begin{gathered} y\text{ = mx + b} \\ \\ y-b\text{ = mx} \\ \\ x\text{ = }(y-b)/(m) \end{gathered}`
