Answer today's 5th Grade Math question, reveal the full explanation, then keep the streak going with a new question every day.

Based on the coordinate plane shown, which two rules were most likely used to generate the plotted ordered pairs?

  1. Pattern X: Start at 0, add 2; Pattern Y: Start at 1, add 3
  2. Pattern X: Start at 1, add 1; Pattern Y: Start at 2, add 4
  3. Pattern X: Start at 0, add 1; Pattern Y: Start at 0, add 2 (correct answer)
  4. Pattern X: Start at 1, add 2; Pattern Y: Start at 0, add 3

Explanation: The plotted points (0,0), (1,2), (2,4), (3,6), (4,8) show Pattern X: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 (start at 0, add 1) and Pattern Y: 0, 2, 4, 6, 8 (start at 0, add 2). Choice A gives points (0,1), (2,4), (4,7), (6,10), which don't match. Choice B gives (1,2), (2,6), (3,10), (4,14), which don't match. Choice D gives (1,0), (3,3), (5,6), (7,9), which don't match the plotted points.
