The equation you've provided is:

$y = x + 1$

This is a linear equation in two variables, $x$ and $y$, where $y$ is expressed as a function of $x$. The equation represents a straight line with:

• A slope of 1 (since the coefficient of $x$ is 1).
• A y-intercept of 1 (since $y$ is 1 when $x = 0$).

If you want to plot this line, it will pass through the point $(0, 1)$ on the y-axis and have a 45-degree angle with the positive direction of the x-axis because the slope is 1.

Would you like help with plotting this or finding more properties of the line?

Here are some related questions:

1. How do you find the slope and y-intercept of a linear equation?
2. What is the equation of a line parallel to this one?
3. How would you graph this equation on a coordinate plane?
4. How do you calculate the x-intercept of this line?
5. What does the equation of a line represent in real-life situations?

Tip: To graph any linear equation, you only need two points, and once you have those, you can draw the line.
