I would say -100

You would find this out by identifying your 'a' which is the first number of the sequence, in this case it is -5

Then you would find the common ratio. You do that by dividing any two of the numbers after your 'a' For this one I chose to divide -20 by -10 and that gets you 2.

You would multiply those together, getting you -10.

So, from here you would put the term you are trying to find (in this case it is the 11th term) and subtract it by one

11-1=10

Lastly, you would multiply your -10 by 10 and get yourself a -100

Formula: nth term = a1^n-1

Hope this helps :) Sorry if it is kinda confusing...
