$y=x-2$

$x-y=2$

A straight line in slope-intercept form is: $y = mx+c$
Where $m$ is the slope of the iine and $c$ is the $y-$ intercept.

We can rewrite the equation in this example as:

$y=x-2$

Which is the equation in slope-intercept form; where $m=1 and c = -2$ as can be seen on the graph below.

$y=x-2$

Slope-Intercept form is $y=mx+b$
where m is the the slope
and b is the y-intercept

Given: $x-y=2$
1. Add y to both sides
$x=y+2$
2. Subtract the 2 from both sides
$y=x-2$

$y=x-2$

Slope-intercept form is as follows:
$y=mx+c$

Given $x-y=2$

$x=2+y$

$x-2=y$

$y=x-2$
Which fits the slope-intercept form with m=1 and c=-2.
