Use words to describe the pattern.

Question

(-2,-1), (-1,0), (0,1), (1,2), (2,3)

(1 point)

Answer 1

The pattern consists of a sequence of coordinate pairs, where each pair consists of an x-coordinate and a y-coordinate.

1. The x-coordinates progress from -2 to 2, increasing by 1 at each step.
2. The y-coordinates start at -1 and increase by 1 at each step, beginning from the second value in the sequence.
3. Specifically, the y-value for each pair is always 1 less than the corresponding x-value.

Overall, the relationship between the x and y coordinates can be described as:

• For each x-value, the y-value can be expressed as y = x + 1.

The pattern is a linear sequence of points that forms a straight line when plotted on a Cartesian plane, showing a consistent increase in both x and y.
