This is a geometric progression problem. We can the general formula that can tell us how many flowers would be planted each month.
Let's write the terms that we know and see if we can find the pattern:

The patern here is obvious. Let's write it down:

This formula gives us a number of flowers planted in the n-th month.
Hi!
To solve this, we must make an equation in y = mx + b form, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
Since we are looking at a graph with points, it saves us a TON of work, and all we have to do is simply look at the graph. We only need to find m and b, that's it!
M is the slope, and the slope can be represented by the change between points on a line, also known as <em>rise/run. </em>
If we start at point (-4, -1), and go to point (-2, 0), we can see that it goes up 1 and right 2, which would be represented as 1/2.
B is the y-intercept, and that is simply the point that is on the y-axis, which is the point (0, 1), so our number would be 1.
Therefore, plugging these numbers into the equation, our equation is y = <em>1/2</em>x + <em>1</em>

Hope this helps! :D
