Question

What is the slope of a line parallel to the line whose equation is y - x = 5?

Answer 1

Hello,

slope=1

every line whose equation is y=x+b is parallele to the line y-x=5

Answer 2

Slope of new line is 1.

Explanation:

We know that,

The general equation of a line is
`y=mx+b`, where m = slope and b = y-intercept.

Now, the equation of the given line is,

`y-x=5\\\\y=x+5`

On comparing, the slope of the given line is 1.

Since, 'The slopes of two parallel line is always equal'.

Thus, the line parallel to the given line is also 1.
