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 :)
