well y=mx+b is slope intercept form of a line. I dont see how these two equations are remotely similar. Also, in the slope intercept form, y=mx+b, m is equal to the slope. y2-y1/x2-x1 are the coordinates that you use to figure out the slope. B stands for the y-intercept.
By Michael, Perry M.D. There are many types of degenerative joint disease. Adult onset rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis are the most common types. Any joint of the body may be affected, though the weight-bearing joints of the body, like the knees, hips and spine, are especially susceptible.When osteoarthritis affects the neck and back, the condition is referred to as facet disease or arthritis of the spine.inimally invasive treatment options.
