Answer 1

Answer:

The equivalent equation solved for x is x = (y-b)/m

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is the complete 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 x?

x = y-bmx = y-b over m

x= my + b

m=y−bxm is equal to the fraction with numerator y minus b and denominator x

x=y−bm

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the equivalent equation solved for x, we will make x the subject of the formula.

From the given equation,

y = mx + b

To make x the subject of the equation,

First, add -b to both sides of the equation, so that we get

y +(-b) = mx +b +(-b)

Then, we will get

y-b = mx +b -b

y-b = mx

Finally, to make x the subject of the equation, we will divide both sides by the coefficient of x ( that is, m)

(y-b) / m = mx / m

Then,

(y-b)/m = x

∴ x = (y-b)/m

Hence, the equivalent equation solved for x is x = (y-b)/m.

The first option is correct

x = (y-b)/m = y-b over m
