Hayden Huber · Answer 1

An arithmetic sequence is that which is composed of items that have common difference while the geometric sequence is that which has elements that have common ratio.

(1) arithmetic. The values of the y-coordinates have common difference of 2.5

(2) geometric. The values of the y-coordinates have common ratio of 0.75.

(1) d. y = 2.5x + 15

(2) a/c. y = 200 (0.75) x
