Answer

Option A is correct.

Graph A shows the linear equation y = 2x + 1

Step-by-step explanation

The slope and y-intercept form of the equation of a straight line is given as

y = mx + b

where

y = y-coordinate of a point on the line.

m = slope of the line.

x = x-coordinate of the point on the line whose y-coordinate is y.

b = y-intercept of the line.

y = 2x + 1 compared to y = mx + b

We can see that the

Slope = m = 2

y-intercept = b = 1

Using the value of the intercept, we can see that the graph that crosses the y-axis at the point where y = 1 is only option A.

Hope this Helps!!!
