Question

How do you find the slope given `x - y + 1 = 0`?

Answer 1

To find the slope of this equation, you need to get it into slope intercept form, or `y=mx+b`

Explanation:

To get it into slope intercept form, you need to solve for `y`, so you need to get `y` by itself on one side of the equals sign.
In this case you can add a `y` to both sides of the equals sign and end up with:
`y=x+1`

Remember that `m` is the slope, and the number `x` is being multiplied by. In this equation, `m` is 1.
So, the slope is 1.

Hope this helps :)
