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. Once your physician confirms a diagnosis of spinal degenerative joint disease, he or she may prescribe a regimen of conservative treatments such as pain medication, physical therapy, gentle stretching, hot-cold compresses and intermittent rest.
In other forms of arthritis, such as rheumatoid arthritis, the joint lining becomes inflamed as part of a disease process that affects the entire body. Some other types of arthritis are: seronegative spondyloarthropathies, crytalline deposition diseases, and septic arthritis.he most common type of arthritis is osteoarthritis. It results from overuse, trauma, or the degeneration of the joint cartilage that takes place with age. Osteoarthritis is often more painful in joints that bear weight, such as the knee, hip, and spine, rather than in the wrist, elbow, and shoulder joints.
