Answer
$a_{200} = 955$
Work Step by Step
RECALL:
The $n^{th}$ term, $a_n$, of an arithmetic sequence can be found using the formula:
$a_n=a_1 + d(n-1)$
where
$a_1$ = first term
$n$ = term number
$d$ = common difference
Use the formula with $a_1=-40$ and $d=5$ to obtain:
$a_{200} = -40 + 5(200-1)
\\a_{200}= -40 + 5(199)
\\a_{200} = -40 + 995
\\a_{200} = 955$
