What is the graph of the equation y = 3x + 2?

  1. Parabola

  2. Line

  3. Hyperbola

  4. Circle

The correct answer is: Line

The graph of the equation y = 3x + 2 is a straight line. This is because the equation is in the form of y = mx + b, where m represents the slope and b represents the y-intercept. In this case, the value of m is 3 and the value of b is 2, which means the line has a slope of 3 and crosses the y-axis at the point (0,2). The other options are incorrect because they represent different types of graphs (A parabola, C: hyperbola, D: circle) that have specific characteristics and equations that are not the same as y = 3x + 2. Therefore, they do not accurately represent the graph of y = 3x + 2.
