We have the following:

We can confirm the intercepts with the y-axis, since it is when x = 0, in the case of the first equation it is 2 and in the second equation it is 1

Therefore, we limit ourselves to the answers C and D, now we can calculate the slope as follows:


m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)

The point are (0, 2) and (-6, -1)


m=(-1-2)/(-6-0)=(-3)/(-6)=(1)/(2)

The slope is 1/2, therefore, the equations are


\begin{gathered} y=(1)/(2)x+2 \\ y=(1)/(2)x+1 \end{gathered}

The answer is the option C
