Answer:

The 28th term is
\boxed{63.8}.

Explanation:

Let
a_n denote the
nth term of the sequence.

We can start by noticing that:


a_2 - a_1 = a_3 - a_2 = a_4 - a_3 = 2.6 = r,

which means that this sequence is actually an arithmetic progression. We know that the
nth term of these sequences is always:


a_n = a_1 + r(n-1).

This sequence in particular is given by:


a_n = -6.4 + 2.6 (n-1).

To find the 28th term, we simply set
n=28:


a_(28) = -6.4 + 2.6 (28-1) = -6.4 + 2.6 * 27 = -6.4 + 70.2 = 63.8.

So we finally get:


\boxed{a_(28) = 63.8}.
