Answer: [tex]m=\frac{y-b}{x}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the line in Slope-Intercept form is:

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

Where "m" is the slope of the line and "b" is the y-intercept.

To solve for the slope "m", you can follow these steps:

- Subtract "b" from both sides of the equation:

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

- Divide both sides of the equation by "x". Then:

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