The function \( y = x + 2 \) is a linear equation that represents a straight line. This line has a slope of 1 and a y-intercept at (0, 2).
To identify the correct graph:
- The line should be upward slanting, indicating a positive slope.
- The line should pass through the point (0, 2) on the y-axis.
- As \( x \) increases, \( y \) should also increase.
From the descriptions provided, the second illustration fits this description, as it is an upward slanting line that passes through the points (0, 2) and (−2, 0).
Thus, the correct response is: The illustration showing an upward slanting line that passes through points plotted at (−2, 0) and (0, 2).
