Solution

The correct option is B
False

If a line is represented as y = mx + c, then m is the slope and c is the Y intercept.

Here, we see that as we go from the point (0, 1) to the point (1, 3); the Y coordinate changes by 2 units for a change of 1 unit in the X coordinate. Hence, the slope m = 2

But the Y intercept can be observed to be 1.

Hence, if the line is represented as y = mx + c, then m = 2 and c = 1.
