The answer is A. y=2x+1

A is the only equation in which the numbers are not naturally written,but there is another numbering being either taken or added to the situation (+1). B and D both are divided which is linear, and C is multiplying which is also linear. This only leaves us with A.

Hope this helps. & don't forget to drink water <3
