Question

Solve for m problem:y=mx+6

Answer 1

Answer:

m = (y-6)/x

Step-by-step explanation:

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 - 6 = mx + 6 - 6

y - 6 = mx

Now we divide both sides by x, to get m completely by itself:

(y-6)/x = (mx)/x

(y-6)/x = m

So m is equal to (y-6)/x.
