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).

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 xintercept.
