Is 6.5 a member of the arithmetic progression a (n), in which a1 = -2.25 and a11 = 10.25?

a11 = a1 + (11 – 1) * d;

10.25 = – 2.25 + 10d;

d = 12.5 / 10;

d = 1.25.

6.5 = – 2.25 + (n – 1) * 1.25;

6.5 = – 2.25 + 1.25n – 1.25;

1.25n = 10;

n = 8 is a positive integer, =>, the number 6.5 is a member of this sequence.
