Answer:

y = 3x + 2

2 tiles

Explanation:

The line on the graph crosses the y-axis at y=2. That is the value of y when x=0.

The line has a rise of 3 squares for each 1 square it goes to the right, so its slope (the coefficient of x) is 3.

The "rule" is then ...

y = 3x + 2

__

If we assume that x represents a figure number and y is a number of tiles, then for x=0, y=2 (as described above).

Figure 0 has 2 tiles.

_____

The pattern seems to be that each figure has 3 more tiles than the previous one.
