Answer:

choice 2

Explanation:

Arithmetic sequences arare linear. The common difference is the slope. The points given are (3,10) And (5,26).

The slope is the change of y (26-10=16) over the change of x (5-3=2); this is 16/2=8.

The equation of line in slope-intercept form whose slope is given as 8 is y=8x+b.

We may plug in a point to solve for b.

Let's plug in (3,10):

10=8(3)+b

10=24+b

10-24=b

-14=b

So the equation we are lookinlooking for is y=8x-14 which is choice 2.
