We can rewrite the equation of the given line to be in slope-intercept form as follows.


x-y=7\\x=y+7\\y=x-7

Thus, the slope of the given line is 1.

Since parallel lines have equivalent slopes, the slope of the line we want to find is also 1.

Substituting into point-slope form,


y-0=1(x-1)\\\\\boxed{y=x-1}

Write the slope-intercept form of the line that passes through the point (1, 0) and-example-1
