Do you have like a full question?

Answer 6

Yeah it says the equation and then find the slope of it's graph

Answer 7

do you know @Nerd94

Answer 8

u sure that's the right equation

Answer 9

Yeah

Answer 10

"Given the linear equation x-y=5 , find the slope of it's graph.

Answer 11

Answer 16

That's the slope..we can change it to slope-intercept form.

x - y = 5

Subtract 'x' to both sides:

-y = -x + 5

Multiply both sides by -1:

y = x - 5

Now it's in the form of y = mx + b, where m is the slope.

So the slope here will be 1.
