First, make it into slope intercept form. Subtract x form both sides

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

-y = -x + 5

Isolate the y. Divide -1 from both sides

(-y)/-1 = (-x + 5)/-1

y = x - 5

The slope in the form: y = mx + b, is m, which is next to the x

In this case, the m is 1

You're slope is 1

hope this helps
