Answer:

The one on the top right

Explanation:

first, look at the y-intercept:

two of the graphs (top-right and bottom-left) have the correct y-intercept of (0, -1).

(The y-intercept is 0 and then the last term of the equation in this form)

next, look at the slope:

slope is in the form of rise/run

the slope for this equation is 3, or 3/1

so look at the graphs, find the y-intercept point and go up three cells and over one.

Only one of the graph's lines goes through this point, and that is the top-left one
