M to the b. Writing the Equation of a Line

The quantity M in these relationships is called the of the material	Substitute the point for x and y
Substitute the slope m into	For materials, these quantities may be very large

For this line, the slope is , and the y-intercept is 4.

Connecting the Coast: A B C D A Incorrect
Magnetic Field Strength: Then substitute the slope in for m in the equation and solve for b
De Novo Peptide Sequencing: Since you have two points, you can use those points to find the slope m

Magnetic Field Strength Magnetic Field Strength H The magnetic fields generated by currents and calculated from or the are characterized by the measured in Tesla	The bar labeled m lets you adjust the slope, or steepness, of the line
Advanced Example Problem Write the equation of the line that passes through the points -4	When working with linear relationships, the slope-intercept form helps to translate between the graph of a line and the equation of a line

The mess of peaks normally observed in a fragment spectrum are a reflection of the population of fragment ions produced in the collision cell of a mass spectrometer.

Writing the Equation of a Line: The fragmentation events are somewhat random and definitely not sequential
Writing the Equation of a Line: The bar labeled b changes the y-intercept
Writing the Equation of a Line: Check the + and — signs in the problem again
