In the equation y=mx, how do you find m on a graph?

m is the slope of the equation y=mx+b. TO find the slope you look at the y intercept of the graph, b, and from that point find how much up/down and to the right/left you need to go. For example from point 0, 4, the y intercept, to another point on the graph (any point on the line would work) 2, 8 , I need to go up 4 units and to the right 2 units. The slope is 4/2 or just 2.'

If this is too confusing just find two points on the line in a graph and folow this equation: y2-y1 / x2-x1

where y2 is the y value of the second point, y1 is the y value of the first point, x1 is the x value of the first point and x2 is the value of x in the second point

Step-by-step explanation:

In the equation y=mx+b, m is the slope. The formula for slope is , so to solve find any two points on the graph and plug them into the formula. You could also count the difference, remember that slope is the change in y over the change in x. For example, if y increases by 3 units and x increases by 2 units then the slope is 3/2.

expression #3 is not equivalent. the others are.

the simplified form is

step-by-step explanation:

we want to simplify the expression,

let us change the middle bar to a normal division sign to obtain,

we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction to obtain,

we factor to obtain,

we cancel the common factors to get,

we simplify to get,

the correct answer is b
