To find the slope of this equation, you need to get it into slope intercept form, or y=mx+b

Explanation:

To get it into slope intercept form, you need to solve for y, so you need to get y by itself on one side of the equals sign.
In this case you can add a y to both sides of the equals sign and end up with:
y=x+1

Remember that m is the slope, and the number x is being multiplied by. In this equation, m is 1.
So, the slope is 1.

Hope this helps :)
