Answer:

b = y - mx

Explanation:

So we are trying to solve for b in the equation y = mx + b. To do this, we will have to somehow get the b by itself on one side and all of the non-b parts of the equation on the other side.

y = mx + b

Subtract mx from both sides.

y - mx = b

b = y - mx

So we have not solved for b. We have found that b = y - mx.

I hope you find my answer and explanation helpful. Happy studying. :)
