SOLUTION: Find the slope of the line x-y=-2

Question 959446: Find the slope of the line
x-y=-2
Answer by jim_thompson5910(35256) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Solve for y

x-y=-2
x-y+y=-2+y
x=-2+y
y-2 = x
y-2+2 = x+2
y = x+2

The equation y = x+2 is in the form y = mx+b where m = 1 is the slope.
