Two students each write a function, C(n), that they think can be used to find the
number of circles needed to make the nth figure in the pattern shown.
Use the drop-down menus to explain why each function does or does not represent
the number of circles needed to make the nth figure in the pattern.

true? is that what you're asking or do you mean something else?

step-by-step explanation:

12475909

step-by-step explanation:

y = 3x+4

step-by-step explanation:

to find the slope

slope = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

    = (-8-4)/ (-4-0)

    = -12/-4

  = 3

using the slope intercept form of a line

y= mx+b

we know the slope is 3

we know the y intercept is 4 ( the point where it crosses the y axis or x=0)

y = 3x+4
