Find the first five terms of the arithmetic sequence with the given first term and common difference
-$\mathrm{a}_{1}=12, \mathrm{~d}=-2$
A) $16,13,10,7,4$
B) $12,10,8,6,4$
C) $0,12,10,8,6$
D) $-12,-10,-8,-6,-4$

The first term is 12, and each subsequent term decreases by 2 (the common difference). So, the sequence is 12 (first term), 12-2=10 (second term), 10-2=8 (third term), 8-2=6 (fourth term), and 6-2=4 (fifth term).
