Answer:

This is a sequence, and the common difference is 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

-13, -6, 1, 8, ...

A sequence simply is an ordered list of numbers.

To find the common difference, we find the difference between any consecutive terms.

-6 - (-13) = -6 + 13 = 7

1 - (-6) = 1 + 6 = 7

8 - 1 = 7

The differences between all the consecutive terms are the same, this is a sequence, and the common difference is 7
