This is a geometric sequence because each term is a constant multiple, called the common ratio, of the previous term. In this case the common ratio, noted as "r", is:
8/-2=-32/8=128/-32=r=-4
The first term is -2
Any geometric sequence can be expressed as:
a(n)=ar^(n-1), a=initial term, r=common ratio, n=term number.
Since we know r and a for this problem already we can say:
a(n)=-2(-4)^(n-1)

Answer:
C. y = 2x -4
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use the points (0, -4) and (2, 0).
y = mx + b (m is slope, b is y-intercept)
m = delta y / delta x
m = 4 / 2
m = 2
y = 2x + b
We can plug in (2, 0):
0 = 4 + b
b = -4
y = 2x - 4
C negative numbers are always last.
