Find the x and y Intercepts y=x+1

Problem

y=x+1

Solution

1. Find the y-intercept by setting x=0 in the equation.

y=0+1

y=1

2. Identify the y-intercept point as the coordinate where the line crosses the y-axis.

y-intercept=(0,1)

3. Find the x-intercept by setting y=0 in the equation.

0=x+1

4. Solve for x by subtracting 1 from both sides of the equation.

−1=x

5. Identify the x-intercept point as the coordinate where the line crosses the x-axis.

x-intercept=(−1,0)

Final Answer

x-intercept: *(−1,0), y-intercept: *(0,1)
