Answer:

The correct answer option is B.
a _ 1 = -4,
r = (1)/(2),
n = 6,
S_n = -(63)/(8).

Explanation:

We are given the following:


6_\sum_(n=1)
-4((1)/(2) )^(n-1)

and we are to identify the first term (
a _ 1 ), common ratio (
r ), number of terms (
n ) and the sum of n terms (
S_n ).

Here,
a _ 1 = -4,


r = (1)/(2),


n = 6; and


S_n = (a_1(1-r^n))/((1-r)) = (-4(1-0.5^6))/((1-0.5)) = -(63)/(8)
