#y = x - 1#

The slope intercept form of an equation is:

#y = color(red)(m)x + color(blue)(b)#

Where #color(red)(m)# is the slope and #color(blue)(b)# is the y-intercept.

Solving for #y# gives:

#y + 3/5 - color(green)(3/5) = x - 2/5 - color(green)(3/5)#

#y + 0 = x + (- 2 - 3)/5#

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

#y = x + (- 1)#

#y = x - 1#
