In arithmetic sequence, we just add the common difference, d = 0.25, to a term to get the next term. Therefore,
a1 = 16.5
a2 = 16.5 + 0.25 = 16.75
a3 = 16.75 + 0.25 = 17.0
...and so on.
(2)
General formula for arithmetic sequence:
an = ao + (n-1)d
where
an = nth term
ao = first term
n = number of terms
d = common difference
Since you have a1 = -1 and d = 5, thus,
an = -1 + 5(n-1)

1.)
a1 = 16.5
a2 = 16.5 + 0.25 = 16.75
a3 = 16.75 + 0.25 = 17
a4 = 17 +0.25 = 17.25
a5 = 17.25 +0.25 = 17.5
2.)
an = a1 + ( n - 1 ) * d
an = - 1 + ( n - 1 ) * 5
OR
an = 5 ( n - 1 ) - 1
a1 = 16.5
a2 = 16.5 + 0.25 = 16.75
a3 = 16.75 + 0.25 = 17
a4 = 17 +0.25 = 17.25
a5 = 17.25 +0.25 = 17.5
2.)
an = a1 + ( n - 1 ) * d
an = - 1 + ( n - 1 ) * 5
OR
an = 5 ( n - 1 ) - 1
