Answer:

1 and −1

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in slope-intercept form is.

∙xy=mx+b

where m is the slope and b the y-intercept

y=x+5 is in this form

with slope =m=1

∙ Parallel lines have equal slopes

⇒slope of line parallel to y=x+5 is m=1

Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line

perpendicular to it is

∙xmperpendicular=−1m

⇒mperpendicular=−11=−1
