Question

Graph the function. For the function whose graph is shown below, which is the correct formula for the function? y = –x – 1 y = x + 1

Answer 1

You forgot to mention the graph.
So, I make the graph of both given functions and you will compare your graph with them.

First, y= -x-1  
put y=0 you get point (-1,0) called x-intercept
put x=0 you get point (0,-1) called y-intercept
join both the points, you will get the graph
Graph is attached in the picture.

Second, y= x+1
put y=0 you get point (-1,0) called x-intercept
put x=0 you get point (0,1) called y-intercept
join both the points, you will get the graph
