Looks to me like y= x + 1

In slope-intercept form, the equation is
\(y = x + 1\).

To find the equation of the linear function represented by the table in slope-intercept form
(\(y = mx + b\)), you need to determine the slope (\(m\)) and the y-intercept
(\(b\)).

Let's use two points from the table to find the slope (\(m\)):


\((1, 2)\) and \((2, 3)\)


\[ m = \frac{\text{Change in } y}{\text{Change in } x} \]


\[ m = (3 - 2)/(2 - 1) = 1 \]

Now that we have the slope (\(m = 1\)), we can use one of the points (let's use
\((1, 2)\)) to find the y-intercept (\(b\)):


\[ y = mx + b \]


\[ 2 = 1 \cdot 1 + b \]


\[ b = 1 \]

So, the equation of the linear function is:


\[ y = x + 1 \]
