Make a conjecture about the next item in the sequence. 1, –8, –17, –26, –35
a. –53
c. –46
b. –44
d. –43

The rule is substract 9
so the answer is b. -44

Abit confused about what you mean, but i think you might be referring to slope intercept form: y = mx + bin that case b, or the y intercept is already given.(0,-1)find the slope by using the formulay2 - y1/x2 - x1the final slope will be 4/2, equivalent to 2.now your equation should look like thisy = 4/2x -1sorry if this didn’t you out!

Bis the answer! hope this
