Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
This is not a linear relationship, it doesn't have a set increase or uniform slope and it seems more like an exponential or quadratic curve to me when I graph it. As you can see you cant draw a straight line through the data points so it cannot be a linear relationship.

<em>Try the answers</em>
You can try the answers to see what works. You can expect all of the choices to match the first two terms, so try some farther down. Let's see if we can get -25 from -7.
a) 3*(-7) -4 = -21 -4 = -25 . . . . this one works
b) -7 -2 = -9 . . . . ≠ -25
c) -3(-7) +2 = 21 +2 = 23 . . . . ≠ -25
d) -2(-7) +1 = 14 +1 = 15 . . . . ≠ -25
The formula that works is the first one.

All these formulas depend on the previous term only, so we can write equations that show the required relationships. Let the unknown coefficients in our recursion formula be p and q, as in ...
Then, to get the second term from the first, we have
... 1·p +q = -1
And to get the third term from the second, we have
... -1·p +q = -7
Subtracting the second equation from the first gives ...
... 2p = 6
... p = 3 . . . . . . . this is sufficient to identify the first answer as correct
We can find q from the first equation.
... q = -1 -p = -1 -3 = -4
So, our recursion relation is ...
