Step 1

Rewrite in slope-intercept form.

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

Move all terms not containing $y$ to the right side of the equation.

Step 1.2.1

Subtract $x$ from both sides of the equation.

$y - 1 = - x$

Step 1.2.2

Add $1$ to both sides of the equation.

$y = - x + 1$

Step 2

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

$m = - 1$
