#y=x-2#

Explanation:

#x-y=2#

A straight line in slope-intercept form is: #y = mx+c#
Where #m# is the slope of the iine and #c# is the #y-#intercept.

We can rewrite the equation in this example as:

#y=x-2#

Which is the equation in slope-intercept form; where #m=1 and c = -2# as can be seen on the graph below.

#y=x-2#

Explanation:

Slope-Intercept form is #y=mx+b#
where m is the the slope
and b is the y-intercept

Given: #x-y=2#
1. Add y to both sides
#x=y+2#
2. Subtract the 2 from both sides
#y=x-2#

#y=x-2#

Explanation:

Slope-intercept form is as follows:
#y=mx+c#

Given #x-y=2#

#x=2+y#

#x-2=y#

#y=x-2#
Which fits the slope-intercept form with m=1 and c=-2.
