Rearrange the slope formula y=mx+b for the quantity of interest m.

1 answer

To rearrange the slope formula y=mx+b to solve for m, follow these steps:

  1. Start with the original equation: y=mx+b

  2. Subtract b from both sides to isolate the term involving m: yb=mx

  3. Finally, divide both sides by x (assuming x0): m=ybx

So, the rearranged formula for m is: m=ybx
