The equation you must use is the slope-intercept form which is mx+b=y so plug 60 in for the b since that is your starting number then the 6 is plugged in for x since that is the slope and the constant and the m is going to change constantly since if you want to find the 1 term plug in 1 for m then do the same for the rest. the first 5 terms are 60,54,48,42,36
