Explain Bot The equation you provided is Y = 1/2(m + b). It appears to be a linear equation with two variables, Y and (m + b), and a constant factor of 1/2. To solve this equation, we can follow these steps:
Step 1: Distribute the 1/2 to the terms inside the parentheses:
Y = 1/2m + 1/2b
Step 2: Simplify the equation by collecting like terms:
Y = 0.5m + 0.5b
Now, if you have specific values for m and b, you can substitute those values into the equation to solve for Y. On the other hand, if you have a specific value for Y and want to solve for either m or b, you can rearrange the equation accordingly.
Let's say you have a specific value for Y and want to solve for m. You can rearrange the equation as follows:
Y = 0.5m + 0.5b
0.5m = Y - 0.5b
m = (Y - 0.5b) / 0.5
Similarly, if you want to solve for b, you can rearrange the equation like this:
Y = 0.5m + 0.5b
0.5b = Y - 0.5m
b = (Y - 0.5m) / 0.5
By using these equations, you can substitute the given values for Y, m, or b and calculate the unknown variable.
