GEOMETRIC sequence, so general term is a*r^(n-1), where n is the index of the term. a is the value of the term at n=1.

You know that -2 is the term at n=1, and . That's it, just solve for r. You will then have the formula for the general term of your sequence. You can then compute any term you wish.
