Slope $= 1$

x intercept $= -1$

y intercept $=1$

Graph included as a part of our solution.

We are given a linear equation in the slope-intercept form .

We have $color(red)(y = x + 1)$ $.. color(green)(Equation.1)$

This is of slope-intercept form $color(blue)(y = mx + b)$

where $color(blue)m$ is the slope.

In our problem, $Slope(m) = 1$

$color(blue)(b)$ is the y-intercept.

In our problem, y-intercept $= 1$

To find the x-intercept we substitute $y = 0$ in $.. color(green)(Equation.1)$

$0 = x + 1$

Hence, in our problem, x-intercept $= -1$

Hence our line will pass through two points $(-1,0) and (0,1)$
