I am not sure of how this problem was set-up. If it is:
Y= %28x%2F1%29%2B1%29
Than the answer is
y=x+1
To graph refer to the slope-intecept form of a line:
y=any y-term
m=the slope of the line
x=the corresponding x-term
b=the y-intercept (the point where the line crosses the y-axis at (0,b))
.
y=mx+b
y=x+1
The slope is 1 and the y-intercept is +1 or point (0, 1)
Graphing:
+graph%28+300%2C+200%2C+-6%2C+5%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+x%2B1%29+
.
If the set-up is
y=%28x%2F%281%2B1%29%29
y=%28x%2F2%29
y=%28x%2F2%2B0%29
y=%281%2F2x%2B0%29
y=%28%281%2F2%29x%29
Than the slope is 1/2 and the y-intercept is 0 or the point (0, 0)
Graphing:
+graph%28+300%2C+200%2C+-6%2C+5%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+%281%2F2%29x%29+
