Dropout · Answer 1

y = mx + b

You need to isolate m.

1. Bring b to the other side by subtracting it from both sides

y - b = mx

2. Divide out x to isolate m on the right

(y - b) / x = m

You answer is B. m = y - b / x

Given the following formula, solve for m.y=mx+bA. m=x (y-b)B. m = y-b/xC. m = x (y+b)D. m = y+b/x

Given the following formula, solve for m.

y=mx+b

A. m=x (y-b)

B. m = y-b/x

C. m = x (y+b)

D. m = y+b/x
