The equation is in slope-intercept form: y = mx + b where m equals slope and b equals the y intercept.

From the equation given, we can see that the slope is negative. cf. "-x"

The variable "x" is equal to one, so the slope is -1.

If you're wondering what the "b" or "y-intercept" is, then it is 0.
