The function \(y = x + 2\) is a linear function with a slope of 1 and a y-intercept of 2. This means that it passes through the point (0, 2) on the y-axis and has a positive slope, meaning it rises as it moves to the right.
Given the descriptions of the graphs, the correct one is:
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. An upward slanting line is graphed on the coordinate plane. The line passes through points plotted at (−2, 0) and (0, 2).
This line matches the characteristics of the function \(y = x + 2\).
