OEI - Why does the Balance Ball show a slip?

I don't fly jets so this refers to multi engine, prop driven aircraft....

With an engine inoperative, and with 5 degrees AoB into the live engine, the aircraft is said to be 'n balance, but the ball shows a slip.

Can someone please explain the reason why the ball shows a slip toward the live engine?

I was once told that this is an indication of a rudder sideways force into the live engine - how accurate is that?

Cheers
