Final answer:

The question asks for the linear equation in slope-intercept form given the point (0, 1), which determines the y-intercept 'b' is 1. However, without additional information or a graph to determine the slope 'm', we cannot confidently choose the correct linear equation from the options provided.

The correct option is not given.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given point (0, 1) indicates that the y-intercept (b) of the line is 1 since the point where the line crosses the y-axis is at y = 1.

To find the slope (m) of the line, we look at the rise over run ratio. However, it appears that there is missing information as there is no graph provided, nor is there a description of the slope.

Since the given point is the y-intercept itself, our linear equation will be of the form y = mx + 1, where we know 'b' is 1. Without additional information about the slope, we can't definitively choose between the options provided (A, B, C, or D).

The correct option is not given.
