Answer:

The six represents the slope

The four represents the intercept

454 tiles

Explanations:

The tile pattern is represented by the equation:

y = 6x + 4.......................(1)

The equation takes is a linear equation of the form:

y = mx + c..........................(2)

where m is the slope

and c is the intercept

Comparing the two equations:

m = 6

c = 4

The six represents the slope

The four represents the intercept

In the 75th figure, x = 75

Substitute x = 75 into the equation (1)

y = 6(75) + 4

y = 454

There will be 454 tiles
