To solve for $b$ in the equation $y = mx + c$, we need to clarify what each term represents. It seems like you're referring to the general equation of a straight line in slope-intercept form, where:

• $y$ is the dependent variable.
• $m$ is the slope of the line.
• $x$ is the independent variable.
• $c$ is the y-intercept (often denoted as $b$).

If you're asking to solve for $b$ (which corresponds to $c$), then the equation is already in the desired format:

$y = mx + b$

In this case, $b$ (or $c$) represents the value of $y$ when $x = 0$, i.e., the y-intercept.
