Answer:
See attached image for the drawing of the first four trees (circled in green)
The patterns is:
x = 2+3n and y= 3+2n
Position of 7th tree is: (20,15) (circled in orange in the image)
Step-by-step explanation:
Starting at the location (2,3) the next x and y positions are given by:
x = 2+3n since the horizontal position needs to be increased by 3 units on each iteration,
and y= 3+2n since the vertical position needs to be increased by 2 units on each iteration
being n= 1 through 6 (to account for the next 6 trees that need to be planted)
With such pattern, the location of the seventh tree would be:
x = 2 + 3*6 =2 + 18 = 20
y = 3 + 2*6 = 3 + 12 = 15
That is, the point (20,15) on the plane.
