    D

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The n th term of an arithmetic sequence in functional notation is

    f (x) = a₁ + (x - 1) d

    where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

    d = - 7 - ( - 5) = - 7 + 5 = - 2 and a₁ = - 5, thus

    f (x) = - 5 - 2 (x - 1) = - 5 - 2x + 2 = - 2x - 3 → D
