Which equation represents a line with slope 1 passing through (0,1)(0, -1)?

A

y=x1y = x - 1

B

y=x+1y = x + 1

C

y=x1y = -x - 1

D

y=x+1y = -x + 1

Correct Answer: A

Choice A is the correct answer. Slope-intercept form.

  1. Slope: m=1m = 1.
  2. Intercept: b=1b = -1.
  3. Equation: y=1x1y=x1y = 1x - 1 \rightarrow y = x - 1.

💡 Strategic Tip: Direct substitution.

Choice B is incorrect because sign error. Choice C is incorrect because slope error. Choice D is incorrect because slope error.
