You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let y = f(x)
y = x + 1
Select two values for x to find two y values. This will give you two points in the form (x,y). Then plot your two points on the coordinate plane and connect them with a straight line. Your function is a linear function and all linear functions form a straight line. The word LINEAR comes from the word LINE.
