Answer: The slope and the y-intercept are both 1.

Probem: Find the slope and y-intercept for #x-y=1#.

Write the equation #x-y=1# in slope intercept form: #y=mx+b#, where #m# is the slope and #b# is the y-intercept.

Subtract #x# from both sides of the equation.

#-y=-x-1#

Multiply both sides by #-1#.

#y=x+1#

#m=1#
#b=1#
