ANSWER

The explicit rule for the sequence is

a_n=18+2.5n


EXPLANATION

The terms of the sequence are
15.5,13,10.5,8,5.5,3,...


The first term of the sequence is
a = 15.5
and the constant difference is
d =13 -  15.5 =  - 2.5
Since there is a constant difference, it means the sequence is an arithmetic progression.



The general formula for an arithmetic sequence is given by the formula,


a_n=a+(n-1)d





We substitute the above values to obtain,



a_n=15.5 - 2.5(n-1)



We expand to obtain,


a_n=15.5 - 2.5n + 2.5


This will simplify to,

a_n=18+2.5n


Therefore the correct answer is A.
