graph the following equation and identify the y-intercept: y=x+1, it makes me give 3 different answers to plot
----------------
It's in slope-intercept form, so the y-intercept is (0,1)
---------------
To find 3 points, or any number of points, pick a value of x and solve for y
x = 0, y = 1 >(0,1)
x = -2, y = -1 . (-2,-1)
x = 2, y = 3 > (2,3)
x = 100, y = 101 > (100,101) etc.
Plot the points and draw a straight line thru them.
