HElp part 2 The first term in an arithmetic sequence is 5. The third term in the sequence is -1. The tenth term in the sequence is -22.
Xavier said that the recursive formula for this sequence could be described as, “to find the next term of the sequence, add -3 to the previous term.” Do you agree or disagree that this statement is equivalent to the explicit formula from question 18? Explain.

a and b are equal

step-by-step explanation:

f(x) is the value of the function. b is the value of the function when x equals zero or the y-coordinate of the point where the line crosses the y-axis in the coordinate plane.

step-by-step explanation:

slope =   (y2 -y1) ÷ (x2 -x1)

slope = (0 -0) / (-5, -7)

slope = 0 / -12 = 0

the slope of the line is zero.   it is perfectly horizontal.
