Question

How do you find the slope and y intercept for `-x+y=5`?

Answer 1

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

Explanation:

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