Answer: D

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is D, as seen on the graph, the Y-Intercept is at Y = 4, and the gradient is 1, so according to the equation y = mx + c,

"m" must equal 1, and "c" must equal 4, so the equation needs to be:

y = x + 4.

In Option D, the equation can be rearranged to 2y = 2x + 8, dividing both the LHS and RHS by 2, we get y = x + 4.

This type of question can be tough at first, however it's just a matter of practice, keep practicing, keep working hard, and you'll be an expert in no time!
