5, -1, -7, -13, -19

 -6   -6  -6   -6     the difference between the numbers is -6

[tex]a_{n} = a_{1} + d(n - 1)[/tex]  ; where a₁ is the first term, d is the difference, and n is the term

[tex]a_{n} = 5 - 6(n - 1)[/tex]

[tex]a_{n} = 5 - 6n + 6)[/tex]

[tex]a_{n} = 11 - 6n[/tex]

f(1) = 5

[tex]a_{1} = 11 - 6(1)[/tex]

      = 11 - 6

       = 5

 TRUE
