$1$ $1$

Given: $x - y = 5$ $x-y=5$

Rearrange.

$\Rightarrow - y = 5 - x$ $=>-y=5-x$

$y = - (5 - x)$ $y=-(5-x)$

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

$\Rightarrow y = 1 x - 5$ $=>y=1x-5$

An equation in the form of $y = m x + b$ $y=mx+b$ has a slope of $m$ $m$ .

So here, we got $m = 1$ $m=1$ , and therefore the slope of the line is $1$ $1$ .
