Example
we have the linear equation
y=x+1
Remember that
The y-intercept is the value of y when the value of x is equal to zero
so
For x=0
y=0+1 ------> y=1
the y-intercept is the point (0,1)
The x-intercept is the value of x when the value of y is equal to zero
so
For y=0
0=x+1 ------> x=-1
the x-intercept is the point (-1,0)
