An illustration shows a coordinate plane with four quadrants. The x-axis and y-axis both range from negative 4 to 4 in one unit increments. A circle is graphed on the coordinate plane. The circle is formed by connecting points plotted at left parenthesis negative 2 comma 0 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 0 comma 2 right parenthesis, and left parenthesis 2 comma 0 right parenthesis.

An illustration shows a coordinate plane with four quadrants. The x-axis and y-axis both range from negative 5 to 5 in one unit increments. A parabola opening upward is graphed on the coordinate plane. The parabola is formed by connecting points plotted at left parenthesis negative 4 comma 2 right parenthesis, left parenthesis negative 2 comma 0 right parenthesis, and left parenthesis 0 comma 2 right parenthesis.

Answer 1

The function \( y = x + 2 \) represents a linear equation with a slope of 1 and a y-intercept of 2. This means that the line crosses the y-axis at the point (0, 2) and increases upwards to the right.

To identify the graph of the function \( y = x + 2 \) among the given options, we are looking for a straight line that passes through the point (0, 2) and has a positive slope.

From the descriptions of the graphs:

1. The first option describes a circle, which is incorrect.
2. The second option describes an upward slanting line that passes through points (−2, 0) and (0, 2). This line has the correct slope and intercept; thus, it could represent \( y = x + 2 \).
3. The third option describes a parabola, which does not fit a linear function.
4. The fourth option describes a downward slanting line, which is also incorrect.

Based on the analysis, the correct graph representing the function \( y = x + 2 \) is the second option with the upward slanting line that passes through the points (−2, 0) and (0, 2).
