Answer:

y = x + 2

Explanation:

We observe that the line crosses the y-axis at y=2, so the y-intercept is 2.

The line has a rise of 1 grid square for each run of 1 grid square to the right. The slope is the ratio of rise to run:

m = rise/run = 1/1 = 1

The slope and intercept can be put into the slope-intercept form:

y = mx + b . . . . . line with slope m and y-intercept b

y = 1x +2 . . . . . . line with slope 1 and y-intercept 2

y = x +2 . . . . . . . simplified
