    an = - 5 + 2 (n-1)

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The formula for an arithmetic sequence is

    an = a1 + d (n-1)

    where a1 is the first term and d is the common difference

    a1 = - 5 since it is the first term in the sequence

    d = term 2 minus term1

    = - 3 - (-5)

    = - 3+5 = 2

    an = - 5 + 2 (n-1)
