Write an explicit formula for the sequence 7, 2, - 3, - 8, - 13, find the 14th term

The 14th term is equal to - 44.

y = 12 - 5x

The sequence can be represented by this function.

Each term is being subtracted by 5.

Using this function we can find the 14th time.

y = 12 - 5 (14)

y = 12 - 56

y = - 44
