Answer:

The second choice (-6, -5 2/5, -4 1/5)

Explanation:

1) Find the nth term by using the rule given. Foil them out.

A(n) = -6 + 1/5n - 1/5

A(n) = 1/5n - 31/5

2) Find the first term by substituting 1 into n.

a1 = 1/5(1) - 31/5

a1 = -6

3) Find the fourth term by substituting 4 into n.

a4 = 1/5(4) - 31/5

a4 = -27/5 or -5 2/5

4) Find the tenth term by substituting 10 into n.

a10 = 1/5(10) - 31/5

a10 = -21/5 or -4 1/5

Therefore, the second choice (-6, -5 2/5, -4 1/5) is correct.
