#y=x-5#

Explanation:

#5=x-y#

#y+ 5=x#

#y=x-5#

The coefficient of x is 1, thus so is the gradient. #b#, or the y intercept, is -5.

#y=x-5#

Explanation:

#"rearrange "x-y=5" into slope-intercept form"#

#"subtract x from both sides"#

#cancel(x)cancel(-x)-y=5-x#

#rArr-y=5-x#

#"multiply all terms by "-1#

#rArry=-5+xrArry=x-5#
