Answer:

a. y = x + 3

Explanation:

All three ordered pairs satisfy the first equation.

___

If you want to look into it a little further, you can notice that if you sort the ordered pairs by their x-values, you get ...

(-1, 2), (0, 3), (1, 4)

That is, the y-values increase (by 1) as the x-values increase (by 1).

All of the other answer choices have -1 as the coefficient for x, which means the y-values will decrease as x increases. None of these choices (b–d) is viable.
