Slopes and Intercepts

Is this an arithmetic sequence? If so, what is the common difference?
-4, -8, -12, -16, ...
yes; d = -4
The explicit formula for an arithmetic sequence is similar to which of the following:
1- Point-Slope Form
2- Standard Form
3- Slope-Intercept Form
3- Slope Intercept Form
In the arithmetic sequence formula, an = a1 + d(n-1), what does the variable, n, represent?
The term number or position in the sequence.

The first term of an arithmetic sequence is 5 with a common difference of -2. Give the explicit formula that represents this sequence.
