Question

What is equivalent to y=mx+b

Answer 1

Which of these is equivalent to the equation below?. y = mx + b

A.b = y - mx.

B.x = y - b/m.

C.b = mx/y.

D.x = y/mb

Answer:

y = mx + b is is equivalent to

Option A -
`b = y -mx`

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

Explanation:

y= mx +b is the slope intercept form that is used to represent the equation of the straight line.

m is the slope of the given line that measures the steepness of the line.

b is the y intercept

x and y are the coordinates of the line

m and b are constants

x and y are variables

Rewriting in the slope intercept form we get

`b = y -mx`

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

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