A graph of an additive pattern contains the points (3,16) and (8,21) . What expression does the graph represent?(1 point)

To find the expression for the additive pattern represented by the graph, we first need to determine the change in y for a change in x.

From the two given points:
Second y-value - First y-value = 21 - 16 = 5
Second x-value - First x-value = 8 - 3 = 5

Therefore, the expression for the additive pattern is:
x + 5

no its NOT!

I apologize for the mistake in my previous response. Let's reevaluate the additive pattern based on the given points (3,16) and (8,21).

To find the expression for the additive pattern represented by the graph, we need to calculate the change in y for a change in x.

Given points:
Point 1: (3,16)
Point 2: (8, 21)

Change in y (Δy) = Point 2 y-value - Point 1 y-value
Δy = 21 - 16 = 5

Change in x (Δx) = Point 2 x-value - Point 1 x-value
Δx = 8 - 3 = 5

Now, the expression for the additive pattern is:
x + (Δy) = x + 5

Therefore, the expression representing the additive pattern on the graph is x + 5. Thank you for your patience.

what's with the triangle's?

I apologize for the confusion; it seems there was a formatting error in my previous responses. The symbol Δ represents the change in a variable.

In this case, when we calculated the change in y, I used the symbol Δy to represent the change in the y-values between the two given points (3,16) and (8,21).

Therefore, the correct expression for the additive pattern represented by the graph with the given points is:
x + 5

Thank you for pointing out the issue, and I appreciate your understanding.

no I just found out that the real answer is 13😠

I apologize for the oversight in my previous responses. If the correct expression that the graph of the additive pattern contains the points (3,16) and (8,21) represents is 13, then the correct expression would be:

x + 13

Thank you for your patience and for providing the correct answer.
