Answer:

The equation of the line is:

y = x + 1

Explanation:

The equation of a line has the following format:

y = mx + b

In which m is the slope(suppose we have two points, the slope is the change in y divided by the change in x).

b is the y-intercept(the value of x when y = 0).

In this question:

When
x = 0, y = 1 , so
b = 1

Passes through the points (0,1) and (1,2). So the slope is

m = (2-1)/(1-0) = 1

The equation of the line is:

y = x + 1
