Answer:

The graph of the first sixth terms in a number line would be the points (-10,-7.-4,-1,2,5)

Explanation:

The sequence you are representing is an arithmetic sequence that is a sequence where the difference between successive terms is constant.This sequence is defined as:

An = A1 + (n-1)d

Where a1 is the first term of the sequence , n is the number of the desired term to be found and d the common difference. So the first Sixths terms for this sequence are:

A1= -10

A2= -10 +(2-1)3 = -10 -3= -7

A3= -10 +(3-1)3 = -10 +2*3= -10+6=-4

A4= -10 +(4-1)3 = -10 +3*3= -10+9=-1

A5= -10 +(5-1)3 = -10 +4*3= -10+12= 2

A6= -10 +(6-1)3 = -10 +5*3= -10 + 15 = 5
