How do you Solve the formula y equals mx plus b for M?
the answer is: (y-b)/x = m y = mx + b y - b = mx (y-b)/x = m
What is x in y equals mx plus b?
The x in y=mx+b is the independent variable. You could solve for x, making this a function of y, with simple algebra. y = mx + b y - b = mx (y-b)/m = x
What is the y-intercept of 3x plus 3y equals 9?
When the equation is in the form "y = mx + c" the intercept is given by 'c' (and the gradient by 'm'): 3x + 3y = 9 ⇒ x + y = 3 ⇒ y = -x + 3 ⇒ Intercept is 3 (And the gradient is -1)
Is y equals x2 plus 2 a linear equation?
No, y=x^2 + 2 is a quadratic equation. A linear equation is one in the form y=mx+b. A quadratic has a form y=ax^2+bx+c.
How do you find the gradient of y equals 2x plus 3?
It's 2. your equation is y=mx+b, so the gradient, or slope, is the "m" in the equation.
What is the difference between y equals mx plus b and y equals mx plus c?
There is no difference; it is a matter of choice and convention as to what letter is used.
In the linear equation is the variable for the y intercept b or c ie y equals mx plus b or y equals mx plus b?
in the equation: y=mx+b , the y-intercept is represented by "b".
Y equals mx plus c what is m and c?
well, m is the slope and c is the y-intercept
Y equals mx plus c c?
That is the standard equation to graph a line.
What does c mean in y equals mx plus c?
c is any constant value
Is y equals mx plus b the same thing as y equals b plus mx or do you need to convert it?
same thing. but its easy to change y=b+mx to y=mx+b
Is y equals mx plus c a sraight line?
Yes, with slope m and y-intercept = (0,c).
Y equals -4x plus 9 find the slope?
slope = -4 for y=mx+c, slope=m, y intercept=c
Y equals mX plus b rearrange to solve for b?
y = mx + b y - mx = b
How do you change y equals mx plus b to Ax plus By plus C equals 0?
Just subtract y from both sides. 'm' becomes 'A', 'b' becomes 'C' and 'B' will be equal to one.
Is y equals mx plus b different from f x equals mx plus b?
yes
How do you solve y equals mx plus b solve for b?
b = y - mx.
