The x-axis is horizontal, the y-axis is vertical. In the form y=ax+b, a is the slope and b is the y intercept. In this problem a is assumed to be 1. So everytime you move one left on the x-axis, the point will move one up on the y-axis. the b value, in this case also one is the point where the line crosses the y-axis. You can also graph the equation by simply picking a number on the x-axis and finding the y-coordinate by adding 1 to it. once you have two points you can draw a line. So, for example, for x=0, y=1 and when x=1, y=2. Now you can connect these points with a line.
