Answer: The slope would be 1.

Step-by-step explanation: The reason why would be because x would have to be assumed as 1. Slope is presented as y=mx+b and while the 1 may not be written there it acts as if "invisible" in the eqaution, as x is the same as writing 1x.

It would be one because if you look at the slope equation y=mx+b m would be the slope and b is the y-intercept
