Refer to the Explanation.

$x + y = 1$ $x+y=1$

The x-intercept is the value of $x$ $x$ when $y = 0$ $y=0$ .

$x + 0 = 1$ $x+0=1$

$x = 1$ $x=1$

The x-intercept is $1$ $1$ and the point is $(1, 0)$ $(1,0)$ .

The y-intercept is the value of $y$ $y$ when $x = 0$ $x=0$ .

$0 + y = 1$ $0+y=1$

$y = 1$ $y=1$

The y-intercept is $1$ $1$ and the point is $(0, 1)$ $(0,1)$ .
