Hey there! We'll use our slope given two points formula: y2-y1/x2-x1 Plug in our values: -5-(-2)/4-(-4) We can simplify this by condensing our signs. We know that subtracting a negative is the same as adding, so we have: -5+2/4+4 = -3/8 Therefore, -3/8 is your slope. Hope this helps!
This only happens when the ordinary ratio is greater than one, the terms of the sequence will get bigger and bigger, and if you add larger numbers you won't get a definitive answer.
