Question

Rearrange the slope formula y=mx+b
for the quantity of interest m
. Make sure to show each step. simple plsss

Answer 1

To rearrange the slope formula \( y = mx + b \) to solve for \( m \), we can follow these steps:

1. **Start with the original equation**:
\[
y = mx + b
\]

2. **Subtract \( b \) from both sides** to isolate the term with \( m \):
\[
y - b = mx
\]

3. **Divide both sides by \( x \)** to solve for \( m \):
\[
m = \frac{y - b}{x}
\]

So, the rearranged formula for \( m \) is:
\[
m = \frac{y - b}{x}
\]
