___ , ___ , ___ , and ___

Answer 1

-3,1,5, and ,9

Explanation:

The ordered pairs plotted are (1,-3), (2,1),(3,5),(4,9)

The first coordinates are the positions of the terms and the second coordinates are the terms.

Therefore

`a_1=-3 \\ a_2=1 \\ a_3=5 \\ a_4=9`

The first four terms of the arithmetic sequence in the graph are:

-3,1,5, and ,9
