Hi there, MOJUT. Welcome to OpenStudy. This is a simple problem, and shouldn't be too hard to solve. For y = x + 2, the slope is positive 1, and the y intercept is 2. So, the line would cross the y axis at (0, 2), and the line would rise every point to the right and up, like so.|dw:1359770876543:dw|
