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.

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
