The formula y equals mx plus b is called the slope-intercept form of a line Solve this formula for m?
Rearranging the equation for m:y = mx +by - b = mx Take the y to the other side(y - b)/x = m Divide both sides by xm = (y - b)/x Swap sides
What is the slope-intercept form of 5x plus 9y equals -36?
Slope-intercept form is y = mx + b5x + 9y = -36Subtract 5x from each side:9y = -5x - 36Divide everything by 9:y = -5/9x - 4
What is slope form?
Y=mx+b
Rewrite equation in slope intercept form -4x plus 2y equals 2?
Slope intercept form looks like y=mx+b, so we want to get y on on side by itself. -4x+2y=2 Add 4x to both sides: 2y=2+4x Divide both sides by 2: y=1+2x or y=2x+1
How do you convert slope intercept form to standard form?
y = mx + b, just subtract mx to both sides -mx + y = b. If the slope is a fraction, it is nice to eliminate the denominator first, so go and multiply each term at both sides by the denominator. If both, the slope and the constant, are fractions, multiply each term at both sides by their least common denominator.
