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 $-1$ .

$y=x+1$

$m=1$
$b=1$
