Explanation

Choice A is correct. Substituting 0 for x into the given equation yields y=0+4, or y = 4 . Therefore, when x = 0 , the corresponding value of y for the given equation is 4 . Substituting 1 for x into the given equation yields y=1+4, or y = 5 . Therefore, when x = 1 , the corresponding value of y for the given equation is 5 . Substituting 2 for x into the given equation yields y=2+4, or y = 6 . Therefore, when x = 2 , the corresponding value of y for the given equation is 6 . Of the choices given, only the table in choice A gives these three values of x and their corresponding values of y for the given equation.

Choice B is incorrect. This table gives three values of x and their corresponding values of y for the equation y = - x + 6 .

Choice C is incorrect. This table gives three values of x and their corresponding values of y for the equation y = - x + 2 .

Choice D is incorrect. This table gives three values of x and their corresponding values of y for the equation y = x .
