Which represents how to find the nth term in this pattern?

a 5n + 2
b 5n + 7
c 7n - 2
d 7n + 5

b

Step-by-step explanation:

First look for the difference between the terms, for example the sequence:  

5, 8, 11, 14... has a difference of 3.

This means the sequence follows the 3 times table - i.e. 3n

Now since we need the first term to be 5 we add 2 to our rule to make it work.

So the nth term of this sequence is 3n + 2.

to plot points   for x just start at the origin (middle) and go to the left however many times it say(if the number is a positive) if the number is a negative then go right however many times it says if it is 0 go nowhere

now keep you pencil there and go up however many times it says on y(if it is positive) if it is negative then go down however many times it says. if it says 0 go nowhere.

you have just plotted a point! now when you finish plotting all of them connect them with a ruler

plot each point as (-3, 7), (0,4), (3,1), (8,-4)   in the parenthesis on the left of the comma is x and the right is y.

answer is : muchas/tipicas

have a nice day!
