"see explanation"

Explanation:

"we only require 2 points to draw a straight line"

"one way is to find the points where the graph crosses"
"the x and y axes, called the intercepts"

• " let x = 0, in the equation for y-intercept"

• " let y = 0, in the equation for x-intercept"

x=0toy=0+y=1rArry=1larrcolor(red)"y-intercept"

y=0tox+0=1rArrx=1larrcolor(red)"x-intercept"

"plot the points "(0,1)" and "(1,0)
"and draw a straight line through them"
graph{(y+x-1)((x+0)^2+(y-1)^2-0.05)((x-1)^2+(y-0)^2-0.05)=0 [-10, 10, -5, 5]}
