Explanation:

The equation of the line is given by #y = mx+c#
where, slope is given by #m# and #c# is the y-intercept.

The given equation is: #y = x-2#
Which can be written as: #y = 1x-2#

Therefore, slope is 1.

#1#

Explanation:

The equations of line can be written in the form #y=mx+b# (where m is slope of line and b is constant)
here it can be clearly seen that #m=1# and #b=-2#
Cheers!

Alternate, Calculus Answer...

Explanation:

For any of those studying calculus:

The slope is the derivative:

#=> d/(dx) ( x-2) = color(red)(1 #

As # d/(dx) ( ax^n) = a * d/(dx) ( x^n) = a* nx^(n-1) #

Where the derivative # (dy)/(dx) # is a function that tells you the gradient at a specific point
