Answer:

D) y = 1x + 2

Explanation:

The general structure of an equation in slope-intercept form is:

y = mx + b

In this equation, "m" stands for the slope and "b" stands for the y-intercept. You can substitute the given value of the slope into the equation. Since you are not given "b", you can plug the value of the points into the half-completed equation (with the slope) and isolate "b".

slope = m = 1

y = (1)x + b

(3,5) ------> y = 5 and x = 3

5 = 1(3) + b

5 = 3 + b

2 = b

Final Equation:

y = 1x + 2
