Question

Find the equation of the line with slope 1 and y-intercept (0,−1).

Answer 1

We will build the equation in the form of y = mx + b where 'm' is the slope and 'b' is the y-intercept.

We know the slope and we know the where the line intercepts the y-axis.

The answer:

y = 1x + -1

Because the coefficient of "1x" is just one we can simplify to the final answer:

y = x + -1
