Find the x and y Intercepts y=x+1

$y = x + 1$

Find the x-intercepts.

To find the x-intercept(s), substitute in $0$ for $y$ and solve for $x$ .

$0 = x + 1$

Solve the equation.

Rewrite the equation as $x + 1 = 0$ .

$x + 1 = 0$

Subtract $1$ from both sides of the equation.

$x = - 1$

x-intercept(s) in point form.

x-intercept(s): $(- 1, 0)$

Find the y-intercepts.

To find the y-intercept(s), substitute in $0$ for $x$ and solve for $y$ .

$y = (0) + 1$

Solve the equation.

Remove parentheses.

$y = 0 + 1$

Remove parentheses.

$y = (0) + 1$

Add $0$ and $1$ .

$y = 1$

y-intercept(s) in point form.

y-intercept(s): $(0, 1)$

List the intersections.

x-intercept(s): $(- 1, 0)$

y-intercept(s): $(0, 1)$
