Answer:

slope =
(1)/(1), or 1

Explanation:

Because there's nothing before the x, it automatically becomes a 1.

If it's a whole number, you know that the denominator is a 1, so when you plot the graph with the slope of 1, you always go up 1 and over to the right one.

Explanation:

Hey there!

Given;

The equation is; y = X+5.

Comparing the equation with y = mx+c. Where "m" represents the slope, "c" is y-intercept and y is a variable. We get;

Slope (m)= 1

Hope it helps...
