Answer: Option A
Given the above equation
y = 2x + 1
Firstly, we need to find the y and x - intercepts
To find y - intercept, make x = 0
y = 2(0) + 1
y = 0 + 1
y = 1
To find x - intercept, put y = 0
0 = 2x + 1
Collect the like terms
0 - 1 = 2x
-1 = 2x
Divide both sides by 2
2x = -1
2x/2 = -1/2
x = -1/2
Therefore, x = -1/2 and y = 1
(-1/2, 1)
Step 2: Graph the point
