Find the Point-Slope Form y=x+1

$y = x + 1$

Step 1

Using slope-intercept form $y = m x + b$ , identify the slope $m$ .

$y = x + 1$

$m = 1$

Step 2

Pick any $x$ -value, then substitute into the equation and simplify to find a point on the line.

Substitute $1$ for $x$ .

$y = 1 + 1$

Add $1$ and $1$ .

$y = 2$

Since $y = 2$ when $x = 1$ , $(1, 2)$ is a point on the line.

$(1, 2)$

Step 3

Plug in the values of the found point and the value of the slope into the point-slope form $y - y_{1} = m (x - x_{1})$ .

$y - 2 = 1 (x - 1)$
