The equation x - y = 8 can be rearranged into slope-intercept form (y = mx + b) by isolating y: y = x - 8.
The slope of the line represented by this equation is the coefficient of x, which is 1.
Since parallel lines have the same slope, the slope of a line parallel to x - y = 8 would also be 1.
Therefore, the correct answer is: 1
10.
