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?

Respuesta :

Answer:  [tex]m=\dfrac{y-b}{x}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is [tex]y = mx+ b[/tex], 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.

To solve the above equation for m , first we subtract b from both sides in the above equation, we get

[tex]y-b=mx[/tex]

Now for the second step, we divide x on both sides of the equation, we get

[tex]m=\dfrac{y-b}{x}[/tex]

Hence, the equivalent equation solved for the slope, m will be :

[tex]m=\dfrac{y-b}{x}[/tex]

Answer: Option B

(B)  m = Y - B / X

      m = m equals StartFraction y minus b Over x EndFraction.
