Question

(a) Solve for x. (b) Solve for M. y=Mx + b

Answer 1

Answer:

a) $x=\frac{y}{m}-\frac{b}{m}$

b) $m=\frac{y}{x}-\frac{b}{x}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the equation:

y = mx + b

Part A:

$y=mx+b\\\\mx+b=y\\\\mx+b-b=y-b\\\\mx=y-b\\\\\frac{mx=y-b}{m}\\\\\boxed {x=\frac{y}{m}-\frac{b}{m}}$

Part B:

$y=mx+b\\\\mx+b=y\\\\mx+b-b=y-b\\\\mx=y-b\\\\\frac{mx=y-b}{x}\\\\\boxed{m=\frac{y}{x}-\frac{b}{x}}$

Hope this helps!
