c. The number of tiles grows by 5 from figure to figure. If you thought of the figure as a bird or a plane, the figure has two more on each side of the wings and one more in the neck. The tail and the body stay constant at 3 tiles. The figure number is represented by the number of tiles in the neck and the length on each side of the wings.

d. Describe the graph of the function. The graph follows a straight increasing line starting at (0,3). The graph has only positive values since the figures cannot be negative. It is also discrete since you can't have non integer figure numbers. It has a y-intercept at (0,3). The x-intercept would not make sense for this particular situation since it would be negative.
