Slope fields and Euler’s method practice question 4

The slope field of dydx=(x−1)(y+1)\dfrac{dy}{dx} = (x - 1)(y + 1) is shown, with the point (0,1)(0, 1) marked. On which interval is the solution through (0,1)(0, 1) increasing?

A slope field for x from −2 to 4 and y from −2 to 4, with a short segment at every half unit, and the point (0, 1) marked. Along the vertical line x = 1 and along the horizontal line y = −1 the segments are flat. Above y = −1 the segments slope downward to the left of x = 1 and upward to the right of it, more steeply the further they are from those two lines. Below y = −1 the pattern is reversed.-2-11234-2-11234
