An=a1+d(n-1)
an=nth term
a1=first term, when n=1
d=common differnce=amount each term increases by
n=which one
so
when n=1, an=40
so a1=40
it seems to increas by 7 each time
an=40+7(n-1)
explicit formula is expanded
an=40+7n-7
an=33+7n is the formula
the domain is natural numbers because you can't have the -3rd term or the 0th term or the 3.24th term
domain is natural numbers
the formula is

Answer: The equation is y = 4x+3
Slope = 4
y intercept = 3
========================================================
Explanation:
Let's start off by finding the slope.
The slope is 4.
The y intercept is 3 because of the point (0,3)
We go from y = mx+b to y = 4x+3
m = slope
b = y intercept
---------------
Check:
Plug in x = 0 and we should get to y = 3
y = 4x+3
y = 4(0)+3
y = 0+3
y = 3
That works out. Now try x = 4. It should lead to y = 19
y = 4x+3
y = 4(4)+3
y = 16+3
y = 19
The answer is confirmed.
