The equation \(y = x - 3\) is in the form \(y = mx + b\).
In this form, \(m\) represents the slope of the line and \(b\) represents the y-intercept, which in this case is \(-3\). Since \(m\) is not visible here, \(m = 1\), because the equation \(y = 1x - 3\) is the same as the equation \(y = x - 3\).
The slope of this line is \(1\).
I hope this is helpful.
