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.
