Let $y=x$ be the equation of a chord of the circle $\mathrm{C}_1$ (in the closed half-plane $x \geq 0$ ) of diameter 10 passing through the origin. Let $\mathrm{C}_2$ be another circle described on the given chord as its diameter. If the equation of the chord of the circle $\mathrm{C}_2$, which passes through the point $(2,3)$ and is farthest from the center of $\mathrm{C}_2$, is $x+a y+b=0$, then $a-b$ is equal to
