Slope $= - 1$ $=-1$
Intercept $= 5$ $=5$

$x + y = 5$ $x+y=5$

Solve it for $y$ $y$

Your equation is in the slope-intercept form

$y = 5 - x$ $y=5-x$

The constant term $5$ $5$ is $y$ $y$ intercept.
The co-efficient of $x$ $x$ is slope. Slope is $- 1$ $-1$

How do you find the slope and y intercept for: x+y=5x+y=5?
