Answer:

E

Explanation:

the equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b ) a point on the line

calculate m using the slope formula

m =
(y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2)-x_(1) )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 1) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (3, 4) ← 2 points on the line

m =
(4-1)/(3-0) =
(3)/(3) = 1

using (a, b ) = (3, 4 ) , then

y - 4 = 1 (x - 3) → E
