What makes a sequence an arithmetic sequence?

Type of Sequence Arithmetic sequence.
Common Difference: -11

Practice makes perfect

When a sequence is arithmetic, the difference between two consecutive terms is constant. By examining our sequence we can see that this is the case. 19 +( - 11) ⟶ 8 +( - 11) ⟶ -3 +( - 11) ⟶ -14 +( - 11) ⟶ ... Therefore, the sequence is an arithmetic sequence with common difference - 11.
