Solve for x

Starting equation:

\[\textcolor{blue}{y} = \textcolor{green}{m}\textcolor{purple}{x} + \textcolor{red}{b}\]

Subtract \( b \) from both sides (explicitly showing division by 1):

\[ y - \frac{b}{1} = mx + b - \frac{b}{1} \]

Simplify:

\[y - b = mx\]

\[\frac{1}{m} y - b = mx \frac{1}{m}\]

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

The value of b is when x = 0.
