Question

The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is y = mx b, where x and y are coordinates of an ordered pair, m is the slope of the line, and b is where the line crosses the y-axis. which is an equivalent equation solved for the slope, m?

Answer 1

Y=mx+b   change the equation to solve for m instead. first subtract b on both sides

y-b=mx  then divide both sides by x

(y-b)/x=m

m=(y-b)/x

Answer 2

Answer:  $m=\dfrac{y-b}{x}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is $y = mx+ b$, where x and y are coordinates of an ordered pair, m is the slope of the line, and b is where the line crosses the y-axis.

To solve the above equation for m , first we subtract b from both sides in the above equation, we get

$y-b=mx$

Now for the second step, we divide x on both sides of the equation, we get

$m=\dfrac{y-b}{x}$

Hence, the equivalent equation solved for the slope, m will be :

$m=\dfrac{y-b}{x}$
