If x >= 0 and y >= 0, how many lattice points does the line y = -x + 18 pass through? (A lattice point is a point with integer coordinates.)

 

\(\phantom{y = -2x + 18}\)

The first point in Quadrant 1 will be \((0,18)\)

 

The last point will be \((18,0)\)

 

Note that there will be a point for every x value, between 0 and 18. 

 

Now, can you tell me how many lattice points that line passes through?
