slope m = $1$ $1$
Y-intercept $= 5$ $=5$

Explanation:

We know that,if line $a x + b y + c = 0$ $ax+by+c=0$ ,
then,X-intercept= $- \frac{c}{a}$ $-c/a$ ,
Y-intercept= $- \frac{c}{b}$ $-c/b$
slope m = $- \frac{a}{b}$ $-a/b$
Here, $- x + y = 5 \Rightarrow x - y + 5 = 0 \Rightarrow a = 1, b = - 1, c = 5$ $-x+y=5=>x-y+5=0=>a=1,b=-1,c=5$
$\Rightarrow$ $=>$ slope m = $- \frac{a}{b} = - \frac{1}{- 1} = 1$ $-a/b=-(1)/(-1)=1$
Y-intercept= $- \frac{c}{b} = - \frac{5}{- 1} = 5$ $-c/b=-(5)/(-1)=5$
