The linear equation is .
The y-intercept is the value of y when x = 0.
(Substitute 0 for x)
(Apply additive identity property: )
The y-intercept is 1. The graph crosses the y-axis at (0, 1).
The x-intercept is the value of x when y = 0.
(Substitute 0 for y)
Apply addition property of equality: if a = b then a + c = b + c.
(Add 1 to each side)
(Apply additive inverse property: )
(Apply additive identity property: a + 0 = a)
The x-intercept is 1. The graph crosses the x-axis at (1, 0).
Use these ordered pairs to graph the equation.
1. Draw a coordinate plane
2. Plot the points
3. Draw a line through these points.
Graph of the linear equation is
