according to the question, find the slope of line which is parallel to the another line whose equation is x+y=5.
we know that, slope of the lines which is parallel to each other is always same .
if we get the slope of one line then we easily get the slope of another line .
so, slope equation of a line is y=mx+c where m is slope of line or the coefficient of x is slope of line
line which have equation x+y=5 we can convert it in the form of slope equation :-
y=-x+5
y=(-1)x+5
now, slope of this line is -1 because it is coefficient of x
now the slope of line which is parallel to this line have same slope that is -1.
