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