How to solve y-b/x=m for y

To solve for m we want to get m by itself on one side of the equals sign, with everything else on the other side. First we subtract b from both sides, to get it out of the right side of the equation:
y - b = mx + b - b
y - b = mx
Now we divide both sides by x, to get m completely by itself:
(y-b)/x = (mx)/x
(y-b)/x = m
So m is equal to (y-b)/x.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y - b/x = m

Adding b/x both sides

y = m+b/x

But i think your question you're trying to ask is (y - b)/x = m

So, for this one,

Multiply both sides by x

y-b = mx

Adding b both sides

To get: y=mx+b

Hope this helps!

Answer:

time = 4.4 s

horizontal distance = 488.8 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Height, h = 4 ft

Angle, A = 32 degree above X axis

velocity, u = 131 ft/s

Let the time taken is t.

Use second equation of motion

$h = u t + 0.5 gt^2\\\\- 4 = 131 sin 32 t - 16 t^2\\\\16t^2 - 69.4t - 4 = 0\\\\t=\frac{69.4\pm \sqrt{4816.36 +256}}{32}\\\\t = \frac{69.4\pm71.2}{32}\\\\t = - 0.05625 s, 4.4 s$
