Using linear function concepts, it is found that the slope of a line parallel to the line whose equation is y - x = 5 is of 1.

What is a linear function?

A linear function is modeled by:

y = mx + b

In which:

  • m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.
  • b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0, and can also be interpreted as the initial value of the function.
  • When two lines are parallel, they have the same slope.

In this problem, we want a parallel line to y - x = 5. In slope-intercept format, the equation is:

y = x + 5.

The slope is of m = 1, hence the parallel line also has slope of 1.
