Answer:

The answer is -13.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of the nth term of an AP(arthimetic progression) is a+(n-1)d.

So the 7th term will be a+6d= -1  ---(1)

The 16th term will a+15d=17  ---(2)

Subtract (2) and (1)

a+15d-(a+6d)=17-(-1)

=a+15d-a-6d=17+1

9d=18

d=18/9

d=2.

Substitute d in eq (1)

a+6(2)= -1

a+12=-1

a= -1-12= -13

Thus the general term of the ap is -13
