The x intercept is 1
The y intercept is (-1)

Explanation:

The value of the x-intercept is the value of $x$ $x$ when $y = 0$ $y=0$ .
Stated another way, it is the value of $x$ $x$ where the line of the equation crosses the x-axis (and all points on the x-axis have $y = 0$ $y=0$ ).
To find the x-intercept, set any occurrences of $y$ $y$ to $0$ $0$ and solve for $x$ $x$
$XXXX$ $color(white)("XXXX")$ $x - y = 1$ $x-y = 1$
becomes
$XXXX$ $color(white)("XXXX")$ $x - 0 = 1$ $x-0 = 1$
or
$XXXX$ $color(white)("XXXX")$ $x = 1$ $x = 1$

Similarly the value of the y-intercept is the value of $y$ $y$ when $x = 0$ $x=0$ .
To find the y-intercept, set any occurrences of $x$ $x$ to $0$ $0$ and solve for $y$ $y$ .
