    these are all linear functions, since the output changes by a fixed amount when the input does.
The ratio of the changes is the slope of the line.
For example, the last one has a slope of 3, since when x increases by 1, y increases by 3 every time. So, you want a rule that looks like
y = 3x
However, when x=1, 3x=3, but y=4. So, adjust it by 1, and you have the rule
y = 3x+1
which you can see fits the table.
Work the others the same way.
