$f (x) = x - 5$

Step 1

Write $f (x) = x - 5$ as an equation.

$y = x - 5$

Step 2

Use the slope-intercept form to find the slope.

Step 2.1

The slope-intercept form is $y = m x + b$ , where $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the y-intercept.

$y = m x + b$

Step 2.2

Using the slope-intercept form, the slope is $1$ .

$m = 1$
