Step 1

Use the slope-intercept form to find the slope.

Step 1.1

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 1.2

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

$m = 1$

Step 2

All lines that are parallel to $y = x$ have the same slope of $1$ .

$m_{parallel} = 1$
