The pattern consists of a sequence of coordinate pairs, where each pair consists of an x-coordinate and a y-coordinate.
- The x-coordinates progress from -2 to 2, increasing by 1 at each step.
- The y-coordinates start at -1 and increase by 1 at each step, beginning from the second value in the sequence.
- 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.
