The plus sign (+) of the magnification shows the image is virtual and erect. And the value 1 for magnification shows that the image is exactly of the same size as the object. So, the magnification of +1 produced by a plane mirror means that image formed in a plane mirror is virtual and erect, and of the same size as the object.
