Quick Question:
The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is y = mx + b, where x and y are coordinates of an ordered pair, m is the slope of the line, and b is where the line crosses the y-axis.
Which is an equivalent equation solved for the slope, m?
m = yx + b
m =
m = – b
m = y –

alright first of all m=y2-y1/x2-x1

wait are those the exact choices?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes
OpenStudy (anonymous):
actually no hold up

yx + b
m = v-b/x
m = v/x– b
m = y – b/x

First we subtract b from both sides, to get it out of the right side of the equation:
y - b = mx + b - b
y - b = mx
Now we divide both sides by x, to get m completely by itself:
(y-b)/x = (mx)/x
(y-b)/x = m
So m is equal to (y-b)/x.
