What is a tile pattern?

Back

A tile pattern is a repeated arrangement of shapes or colors that creates a design, often used in flooring, walls, and art.

What is the formula for a linear pattern?

Back

The formula for a linear pattern is typically expressed as y = mx + b, where m is the slope (growth) and b is the y-intercept.

If the growth of a tile pattern is 2, what does this mean?

Back

This means that for each increase in the figure number, the number of tiles increases by 2.

What is the number of tiles in Figure 0 if the formula is y = 3x + 1?

Back

The number of tiles in Figure 0 is 1, as substituting x = 0 gives y = 1.
