The common difference
From the graph, we have:
[tex]T_n: -3.75, -4.5, -5.25, -6, -6.75, -7.5, -8.25, -9.[/tex]
The x coordinates represent the position of each term
The common difference (d) is:
[tex]d = T_n - T_{n-1}[/tex]
Let [tex]n = 2[/tex]
[tex]d = T_2 - T_{2-1}[/tex]
[tex]d = T_2 - T_1[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]d = -4.5 - (-3.75)[/tex]
[tex]d = -4.5 +3.75[/tex]
[tex]d = -0.75[/tex]
