Answer:

The slope is m = 1.

y-intercept is y = 1.

Explanation:

Slope:

To find the slope of a line, we select two points of the line. The slope is the variation in y divided by the variation in x.

In this exercise:

I am choosing the points (-1,0) and (0,1)

Variation in x: 0 - (-1) = 0 + 1 = 1

Variation in y: 1 - 0 = 1

Slope: 1/1 = 1

The slope is m = 1.

y-intercept:

The y-intercept is the value of y when x = 0. In this line, when x = 0, y = 1. So the y-intercept is y = 1.
