 Best Answer:  E, you should really stop using the Internet to do your homework, just plug 1 in for n and you get five, 2 for n you get 1 and so on

Answer 2

E.-4n + 9 

verifying 
n = 1 -> -4(1) + 9 = 5 
n = 2 -> -4(2) + 9 = 1 
n = 3 -> -4(3) + 9 = -3 
n = 4 -> -4(4) + 9 = -7 
n = 5 -> -4(5) + 9 = -11
