Y Axis = Triangles:2 3 4 5 6 7

X Axis = Figure #: 1 2 3 4 5 6

Y = starts with 2 triangles and add one triangle per figure

X = Starts with figure one and adds 1 figure everytime

Recursive pattern

You add 1 to the figure # to make Y

Let X = Figure #

X + 1

I Got Steak In My Teeth:

Y Axis = Toothpicks: 3 5 7 9 11 13

X Axis = Figure #: 1 2 3 4 5 6

Y = Start with 3 toothpicks and add 2 toothpicks everytime

X = Start with figure one and add 1 figure number everytime

For each figure, you add two toothpicks from the last figure. Multiply the figure by two and add one

2x + 1 = Y
