Physics I: Linear Regression Properties

For each physics formula (literal equation), solve for the variable listed as representing the y-axis. Then factor to identify the collection of variable(s) which represent the line's slope when it is graphed - - these variables will be the coefficient of the variable representing the x-axis.
