The slope is - 3/10
Y over x
We are given the first term and the common ratio, this means they belong to a geometric series.
For the given series:

Each term of the geometric series is obtained by multiplying the previous term by common ratio.
So the next terms will be:
-4.5, -6.75, -10.125, -15.1875, -22.78125
The general formula for the G.P would be:

On plotting the series, the result will be like this:
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The fact that the coefficients are pairwise identical (except for sign) tells you that x^2 -1 is a factor (and x-5 is the other factor). Of course, you recognize x^2-1 as a special form (the difference of squares) that is factored as (x +1)(x -1).
The zeros are x = -1, +1, +5.
___
A graphing calculator confirms this.
