It's a nice idea to multiply or divide both sides of the equation by -1"
y = x -1

So now it is in slope-intercept form, and you can tell by looking at this equation that the y intercept is -1, and the slope is 1, which is %28rise%29%2F%28run%29+=+1%2F1.

Graph the y intercept by going DOWN 1 on the y axis and put a point there. With your pencil on this point, measure off the slope, which means to go UP 1 and then RIGHT 1, and put a second point. Connect the dots, and it should look like this:

graph+%28400%2C400%2C+-6%2C6%2C-6%2C6%2C+x-1%29
