describe the relationship between the graph of y=2x +1 and it's reflection across the line y=x

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The reflected line will have the equation (using capital X & Y to differentiate this as the reflected line:
\n" ); document.write( " \"+Y+=+%281%2F2%29X+-+1%2F2+\" which can be found as follows:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Start with \"+y+=+2x%2B1+\" and solve for x: \"+x+=+%28y+-+1%29%2F2++=+%281%2F2%29y+-+1%2F2+\". Then replace y with X and x with Y to get \"+Y+=+%281%2F2%29X+-+1%2F2+\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "For every (a,b) on y=2x+1, if you project horizontally to y=x then vertically to Y=(1/2)X-1/2 you will find it meets the reflection at X=b, and Y=a.\r
