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

Answer 1

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

1. Subtract \( b \) from both sides of the equation: \[ y - b = mx \]

2. Now, divide both sides by \( x \) (assuming \( x \neq 0 \)): \[ \frac{y - b}{x} = m \]

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