Answer:

-11 is the sixth term of the sequence.

Explanation:

So, first we have to find the pattern of the sequence.

14 - 9 = 5

14 - 5 = 9

Now, let's confirm this is the correct pattern.

14 - 5 = 9

9 - 5 = 4

So, now that we know the pattern, we just need to keep going until we reach the sixth term.

14 - 5 = 9

9 - 5 = 4

4 - 5 = - 1

-1 - 5 = -6

-6 - 5 = -11

Let's turn this into list form so it is easier to read.

14, 9, 4, -1, -6, -11.

Therefore, -11 is the sixth term in the sequence.
