Consider the arithmetic sequence below.

-9, -2, 5, 12, . . .

Given that the sequence is represented by the function f(n), determine the value of f(1) and find the common difference.

f(1) = -2
Common difference : 7

f(1) = -2
Common difference : -7

f(1) = -9
Common difference : -7

f(1) = -9
Common difference : 7
