Answer 6

what is d?

Answer 7

no no. I dont understand the question. But I don't know much about arithmetic sequences. Is that what you are doing?

Answer 8

is it arithmetic sequence though ? I assume it is because a lot of people use d to mean common difference but I'm pretty sure it is not universal notation.

Answer 9

Yes it's an arithmetic sequence.

Answer 10

if it is an arithmetic sequence, the sequence goes like this:
\[a_1,a_1+d,a_1+2d,a_1+3d,...\]

Answer 11

a1 is the first term
a1+d is the second term

...
a1+(n-1)d is the nth term

Answer 12

ok so a1=-10
and you know a2=?

Answer 13

well a1+d isn't -20
Ok I'm going to use the x-axis as the n-axis
and the y-axis as the outputs

Answer 14

a1+d=-10+3=-7

Answer 15

so graphing (1,-10) and (2,-7)

Answer 16

Oh so it's A.

Answer 17

I ran out of room so I pretending -10 is someone down there
