(\partial)/(\partial y)(y-x)

\frac{\partial}{\partial y} (y - x)

1

Solution steps

\frac{\partial}{\partial y} (y - x)

Treat

x

as a constant

Apply the Sum/Difference Rule:

(f \pm g)^{'} = f^{'} \pm g^{'}

= \frac{\partial}{\partial y} (y) - \frac{\partial}{\partial y} (x)

\frac{\partial}{\partial y} (y) = 1

\frac{\partial}{\partial y} (x) = 0

= 1 - 0

Simplify

= 1
