How do you convert #x+y=3# to #y=mx+b#?

Answer 1

If you subtract #x# from both sides of #x+y=3# you get #y = 3-x# or by rearranging the right side #y = (-1)x + 3# with #m=(-1)# and #b=3#

To convert ( x + y = 3 ) to ( y = mx + b ), solve for ( y ) to isolate it on one side of the equation.

Start with the equation ( x + y = 3 ).
Subtract ( x ) from both sides to isolate ( y ): ( y = 3 - x ).

Now, ( y ) is isolated on one side of the equation, so it's in the form ( y = mx + b ), where ( m ) is the slope and ( b ) is the y-intercept.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
