Question

Solve each equation or formula.show work please
y=mx+b, for m

Answer 1

\[y=mx+b\]
\[y-b=mx\]
\[\frac{y-b}{x}=m\]

Answer 2

y=mx+b

Since m is on the right-hand side of the equation, switch the sides so it is on the left-hand side of the equation.
mx+b=y

Since b does not contain the variable to solve for, move it to the right-hand side of the equation by subtracting b from both sides.
mx=-b+y

Divide each term in the equation by x.
(mx)/(x)=-(b)/(x)+(y)/(x)

Cancel the common factor of x in (mx)/(x).
m=-(b)/(x)+(y)/(x)

Combine the numerators of all expressions that have common denominators.
m=(-b+y)/(x)
