An arithmetic sequence is a sequence of numbers in which the difference between any two consecutive numbers is the same. For example, the sequence 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 is an arithmetic sequence with a common difference of 2. Arithmetic sequences can be represented graphically by plotting the terms of the sequence on a coordinate plane. The resulting graph will be a straight line.
To write an arithmetic sequence on a graph, first choose a starting point. This point will be the first term of the sequence. Then, use the common difference to find the next term in the sequence. Plot this point on the coordinate plane. Continue plotting points until you have plotted all of the terms in the sequence.
