Answer 1

To rearrange the formula \( y = mx + b \) using \( x \) as the quantity of interest, the first step would be to **subtract \( b \) from both sides of the equation**. This will help isolate the term with \( x \) on one side of the equation.

So the correct response is:

- Subtract \( b \) from both sides of the equation.
