Heart Plot
How
do I love thee? Let me plot the ways!
A
heart is drawn on a coordinate plane by plotting the following points and
connecting them:
· The coordinates of the points are (n, n),
(n – 3, n + 3), (n – 6, n), (n
– 9, n + 3),
(n – 12, n), (n – 12, n – 3), (n – 6, n – 9),
and (n, n –3).
· The coordinates of one point are (2, 14).
· All coordinates are positive integers.
What
is the value of n?
