Write the first five terms of the arithmetic sequence whose first term, a1, and common difference, d, are given.
-$a _ { 1 } = 19 ; \mathrm { d } = - 4$
A) $23,18,13,8,3$
B) $19,15,11,7,3$
C) $0,19,15,11,7$
D) $- 19 , - 15 , - 11 , - 7 , - 3$

The first term is 19, and each subsequent term decreases by 4. So, the sequence is 19 (first term), 19-4=15 (second term), 15-4=11 (third term), 11-4=7 (fourth term), and 7-4=3 (fifth term).
