Question

How do you find the slope and intercept of `y= x+1`?

Answer 1

Slope = 1
Y Intercept = (0 , 1)
X Intercept = (-1, 0 )

Explanation:

The slope of this is 1 as the slope intercept form is `y=mx+b` but if there is no number in front of the x, it is assume that it is a `1`.

The y-intercept of this expression is (0 , 1). To find it, you need to plug in 0 for x like this `y=0+1` then add on the right side which gives is `y=1` but we need to put it as a coordinate point so whatever we plug in is our x value and our output value is our y value.

To find the x intercept, we need to replace y with 0 like this `0=x+1` then we subtract 1 from both sides which we get `-1=x` so we write -1 as our x value and 0 as our y value like this (-1 , 0).

Answer 2

slope `m=1`, `x` intercept is `-1` and `y` intercept is `-1`

Explanation:

This equation has the form
`y=mx+n`
where `m` is the slope and `n` the `y` intercept and `-n/m` the `x`intercept.
