An illustration shows a coordinate plane with four quadrants. The x-axis and y-axis both range from negative 4 to 4 in one unit increments. A downward slanting line is graphed on the coordinate plane. The line passes through points plotted at left parenthesis 0 comma 2 right parenthesis and left parenthesis 2 comma 0 right parenthesis.

The function y = x + 2 is a linear function that represents a straight line with a slope of 1 and a y-intercept of 2. This means the line will cross the y-axis (where x = 0) at the point (0,2).
The correct graph for this function would be an upward slanting line that passes through the point (0, 2), because when x is 0, y must be 2.
Among the provided options, the one matching this description is:
"An illustration shows a coordinate plane with four quadrants. The x-axis and y-axis both range from negative 4 to 4 in one unit increments. An upward slanting line is graphed on the coordinate plane. The line passes through points plotted at left parenthesis negative 2 comma 0 right parenthesis, and left parenthesis 0 comma 2 right parenthesis."
This description indicates that the line passes through (0, 2) and (-2, 0), which is on the line y = x + 2, as plugging x = -2 into the equation gives y = -2 + 2 = 0. Therefore, the line correctly represents the function y = x + 2.
