Answer:

y = 6x - 11

Step-by-step explanation:

An arithmetic sequence is a linear function. This means it steadily increases or decreases through addition/subtraction by a constant amount. Here the sequence grows by adding 6 each time.

-11 + 6 = -5

-5 + 6 = 1

1 + 6 = 7

etc....

Since this is linear, its equation has the form y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. The slope is m = 6 and b = -11.

y = 6x - 11
