Answer:


\text{ Graph C}

Explanation:

A line is represented as follows:


\begin{gathered} y=mx+b \\ \text{where,} \\ m=\text{slope} \\ b=y-\text{intercept} \end{gathered}

Isolate y in the given equation to get the line in the form above:


\begin{gathered} y-1=2(x+2) \\ y=2(x+2)+1 \\ y=2x+4+1 \\ y=2x+5 \end{gathered}

Notice that the slope of the line is positive and the y-intercept is 5.

*Remember that the y-intercept of a line is where x=0.

Then, the graph that shows the line is Graph C
