how would i find the explicit formula for the arithmetic sequence -11,-3,5,12

Arithmetic Sequence Formula:
[tex]a_n=a_1+(n-1)d[/tex]
We have:
[tex]a_1=-11,\ a_2=-3,\ a_3=5,\ a_4=12,\ ...[/tex]
[tex]d=a_{n+1}-a_n\to d=-3-(-11)=-3+11=8[/tex]
Substitute:
[tex]a_n=-11+(n-1)(8)=-11+8n-8=8n-19[/tex]
Answer: [tex]a_n=8n-19[/tex]
