2. Monique and Jesus studied the pattern and the graph below to see if they could make a table and a rule. Jesus thinks that the rule must be y = 3x +2 because
the figure has 3 tiles on the bottom row and 2 tiles on the corners. Monique does
not agree. She says that the graph shows that Figure O has two tiles and that each
new figure in the pattern grows by 1 tile. Her rule is y = 1x + 2. Who is correct? How
do you know? Explain your reasoning as best as you can. You may use a table to help
you explain your reasoning.
