The function \( y = x + 2 \) represents a straight line with a slope of 1 (upward slanting) and a y-intercept at (0, 2).
To determine which graph corresponds to this function, we look for a graph that has:
- A straight line (not a circle or parabola).
- An upward slope.
- Passes through the point (0, 2).
From your descriptions, the second response describes an upward slanting line that passes through the points (-2, 0) and (0, 2). Therefore, this is the graph of the function \( y = x + 2 \).
The correct answer is the second response: "An upward slanting line is graphed on the coordinate plane. The line passes through points plotted at (-2, 0) and (0, 2)."
