To rearrange the slope-intercept form of a linear equation, \( y = mx + b \), for \( x \), follow these steps:
1. Start with the original equation:
\[
y = mx + b
\]
2. Subtract \( b \) from both sides:
\[
y - b = mx
\]
3. Divide both sides by \( m \) (assuming \( m \neq 0 \)):
\[
x = \frac{y - b}{m}
\]
So, the rearranged formula for \( x \) is:
\[
x = \frac{y - b}{m}
\]
