The correct answer to this problem would be -3. Based on the points you've provided on the graph, -3 would be the correct common difference. :)

Answer:

the common difference of the sequence (d) = -3

Explanation:

Given sequence is 1st term, 2nd term, 3rd term

= 5, 2, -1

It is an arithmetic sequence.

The common difference (d) = second term - first term

d = 2 - 5

d = -3

Therefore, the common difference of the sequence (d) = -3

Hope this will helpful.

Thank you.
