Answer:
y = 6x - 11
Step-by-step explanation:
An arithmetic sequence is a linear function. This means it steadily increases or decreases through addition/subtraction by a constant amount. Here the sequence grows by adding 6 each time.
-11 + 6 = -5
-5 + 6 = 1
1 + 6 = 7
etc....
Since this is linear, its equation has the form y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. The slope is m = 6 and b = -11.
y = 6x - 11
When put in matrix form, the coefficients of
... 3x -2y = 7
... x + 4y = 2
look like

The determinant is 3×4 - 1×(-2) = 14.
