Do you mean this way:
(2,5), (5,11), (8,17), (10,21), ( 7,?);
Find the coordinate when x=7 ?

The slope among each pair of data points is 2.
(21-17)/(10-8)=2;
(17-11)/(8-5)=2;
(11-5)/(5-2)=2.

Simply start at (5,11). Increase from 5 by TWO units; ;and increase from 11 by FOUR units. What point it this?
