Work Step by Step

Given: $y=2x+1$ The y-intercept is $1$. Plot a point $(0,1)$ Find the x-intercept: $0=2x+1$ $2x=-1$ $x=\frac{-1}{2}$ Plot another point $(\frac{-1}{2},0)$. Draw a line through 2 points. $y=-x+1$ The y-intercept is $1$. Plot a point $(0,1)$. Find the x-intercept: $0=-x+1$ $-x=-1$ $x=1$ Plot another point $(1,0)$. Draw a line through 2 points. The red line is for $y=2x+1$. The blue line is for $y=-x+1$.
