To isolate [tex]\( b \)[/tex] in the equation [tex]\( y = mx + b \)[/tex], follow these steps:
1. Start with the given equation:
[tex]\[
y = mx + b
\][/tex]
2. To isolate [tex]\( b \)[/tex], subtract [tex]\( mx \)[/tex] from both sides:
[tex]\[
y - mx = b
\][/tex]
Thus, the equation solved for [tex]\( b \)[/tex] is:
[tex]\[
y - mx = b
\][/tex]
The correct option is:
[tex]\[ y - mx = b \][/tex]
