Michael and John are creating patterns. Each patterns starts at 1. Michael uses the rule multiply by 2 and then subtract 1. John uses the rule multiply by 5, and then subtract 3. Plot the ordered pairs that are created from the first three terms of the sequences.

Answer 1

$\bf \stackrel{Michael's}{\begin{array}{ccll} x&y\\ \text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\ 1&2(1)-1\\ &1\\ 2&2(2)-1\\ &3\\ 3&2(3)-1\\ &5 \end{array}}\qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \stackrel{John's}{\begin{array}{ccll} x&y\\ \text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\ 1&5(1)-3\\ &2\\ 2&5(2)-3\\ &7\\ 3&5(3)-3\\ &12 \end{array}}$

plot them away.
