with that template in mind, let's see, it went to the right 2 units, and then up 3 units.
that simply means, C = -2, D = 3.
The slope-intercept form is:
y = mx + b
where m = slope, and b = y-intercept.
You need a slope of 1, so m = 1.
You need a y-intercept of -1, so b = -1.
Replace m with 1 and b with -1 in the slope intercept form to get
y = 1x + (-1)
which simplifies to
y = x - 1

Answer:
a9 = -8 +9(9 -1)
Step-by-step explanation:
The given sequence has a common difference of 1-(-8) = 10-1 = 9, and a first term of -8. The formula for the n-th term of such an arithmetic sequence is ...
an = a1 +d(n -1) . . . . . first term a1, common difference d
For the parameter of this sequence, a1=-8 and d=9, the n-th term is ...
an = -8 +9(n -1) . . . . formula for the n-th term
__
Then the formula for the 9th term is ...
a9 = -8 +9(9 -1)
