#y=x+b# where #b# is the #y#-intercept.

Explanation:

The general slope-intercept equation for a line is

#y=mx+b#

#m# is the slope and #b# is the #y#-intercept (the #y#-value of the point where the line crosses the #y#-axis.

So, if the slope is one, (#m=1#), the equation looks a bit simpler

#y=x+b#

Once a value for #b# is given, the equation can be completed.
