Question

Find the slope, x and y intercepts and sketch the graph for the linear equation.
y = 2x + 1

Answer 1

In bold below.

Explanation:

The slope = coefficient of x = 2.

The y-intercept is when x = 0 and x-intercept is when y = 0.

y = 2(0) + 1 = 1 so the y -intercept is (0, 1).

2x + 1 = 0

x = -0.5 so the x-intercept is (-0.5, 0)
