The table shows how many points Joaquin and Jerome scored during 4 basketball games. Which best describes the pattern shown in the table?

• It is an additive pattern because the point (0,0) fits the pattern.

• It is a multiplicative pattern because Jerome’s points are multiplied by 6 to find Joaquin’s points.

• It is a multiplicative pattern because Jerome’s points are doubled to find Joaquin’s points.

• It is an additive pattern because 6 is added to Jerome’s points to find Joaquin’s points.
