We want to determine the equation that the given values will fit into.
We would do this by substituting the values of x into the equations and see if the value of y that we will get would correspond to the value of y on the table
For the first equation,
y = x^2 + 1
When x = - 1, y = -1^2 + 1 = 2
When x = 2, y = 2^2 + 1 = 5
When x = 8, y = 8^2 + 1 = 65
We can see that the value of y corresponds
If we substitute the values of x and y into the other equations, we won't get the corresponding values of y in the table
Therefore, the correct answer is the first option
