The explicit formula is 15 + (n-1) -4

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for an explicit formula is an = First number of the sequence (15) + (n-1)(times the amount of integers separating two different sequential numbers) which is -4.

For instance, since 15 is the first number, it will be a1 or 15. Next will be + (n-1) which is the same for every explicit sequence and the multiplier will be the difference between each number, which is -4 in the recursive sequence. As a result, the answer is 15 + (n-1) -4.

y=-2.5x+12.5

step-by-step explanation:

5y=2x+10

y=0.4x+2

slope=-2.5

5=-2.5*3+b

b=12.5
