Question

Identify the pattern.
-4. -5.5, -7, -8.5, -10, -11.5, -13,..

Answer 1

-1.5

Explanation:

You take two of the variables in the pattern and subtract them with the second one being the minuend, and the first being the subtrahend.

For example we will use -4 and -5.5

(-5.5) - (-4) = -1.5

There is a negative sign present so it indicates subtraction towards the pattern.

Hence, the pattern change rate is -1.5

Answer 2

The pattern is that each number in the sequence is the previous number minus 1.5. For example, -5.5 is -4 minus 1.5, -7 is -5.5 minus 1.5, and so on.
