Explanation:
#"the equation of a line in "color(blue)"slope-intercept form"# is.
#•color(white)(x)y=mx+b#
#"where m is the slope and b the y-intercept"#
#"rearrange "x+y=5" into this form"#
#"subtract x from both sides"#
#cancel(x)cancel(-x)+y=-x+5#
#rArry=-x+5larrcolor(blue)"in slope-intercept form"#
#"with slope "=-1" and y-intercept "=5#
