Graph y=x

Problem

y=x

Solution

1. Identify the type of equation. This is a linear equation in the form y=m*x+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

2. Determine the slope and y-intercept. In the equation y=x the slope m=1 and the y-intercept b=0

3. Plot the y-intercept. Since b=0 the line passes through the origin (0,0)

4. Use the slope to find another point. Since the slope is 1 for every 1 unit moved to the right, move 1 unit up. This gives the point (1,1)

5. Draw a straight line passing through the points (0,0) and (1,1) to represent the function.

Final Answer

y=x
