    -1.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The standard form of a line can be written y = mx + b where m is the slope.

    y = x + 5 can be written as y = 1x + 5 which shows that the slope is 1.

    If the slope of a line is m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is - 1/m.

    So the required slope is - 1/1 = - 1.
