1. The problem is to graph the system of equations:
$$y = x + 1$$
$$y = -x + 1$$
2. These are two linear equations representing straight lines. The solution to the system is the point(s) where the lines intersect.
3. To find the intersection, set the right-hand sides equal:
$$x + 1 = -x + 1$$
4. Solve for $x$:
$$x + 1 = -x + 1$$
$$x + x = 1 - 1$$
$$2x = 0$$
$$x = \cancel{\frac{0}{2}}0$$
5. Substitute $x=0$ into one of the equations to find $y$:
$$y = 0 + 1 = 1$$
6. The lines intersect at the point $(0,1)$.
7. To graph:
- The line $y = x + 1$ has slope 1 and y-intercept 1.
- The line $y = -x + 1$ has slope -1 and y-intercept 1.
8. Both lines cross the y-axis at $(0,1)$ and slope up and down respectively.
9. The graph shows two lines intersecting at $(0,1)$, confirming the solution.
