Answer:


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

Explanation:

Considering no values were supplied, the most we can do here is rearrange the equation to get m on its own.

In the equation y - b = m(x - a), since (x - a) is multiplicative of m, we can divide this value to remove it from m's side. This leaves us with:


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