Graph x-y=-1

Problem

x−y=−1

Solution

1. Rewrite the equation in slope-intercept form y=m*x+b by isolating y

x−y=−1

−y=−x−1

y=x+1

2. Identify the slope m and the y-intercept b from the equation.

m=1

b=1

3. Determine the y-intercept point by setting x=0

y=0+1

y=1

Point 1=(0,1)

4. Determine the x-intercept point by setting y=0

0=x+1

x=−1

Point 2=(−1,0)

5. Plot the points (0,1) and (−1,0) on a coordinate plane and draw a straight line passing through them.

Final Answer

y=x+1
