Explanation:

For the table: Starting from 2 tiles at Stage 0, the number of tiles increases by 4 each time the stage number goes up by 1.
For the graph: The plotted points form a straight, upward-sloping line. As the stage number (x-axis) increases by 1, the number of tiles (y-axis) increases by a consistent 4, showing a constant, linear growth pattern.

Answer:

Table pattern: Each stage adds 4 tiles, starting at 2.
Graph pattern: Linear upward growth; each 1-stage increase raises tile count by 4, forming a straight line.
