You could take it the long way and plug in each x into the 4 equations to see which one puts out the exact y values. Another way you could do it is by finding the slope from two points using
(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1). For example, take (2,9) and (3,12).
(12-9)/(3-2) =3. So the slope is 3, which rules out choices a and d. Now plug in 2 for equations b and c. Only equation b gives you an answer of 9, so the answer is b) y=3x+3
