A common way is to find the intercepts.
Explanation:
Find the y-intercept by isolating y on the left side of the equal sign. This is also called slope-intercept form.
This gives us our y-intercept: (0, -1)
Find the x-intercept by isolating x on the left side of the equal sign.
This gives us our x-intercept: (
Here's a graph of the equation. Notice the intercepts:
