Answer:

-19

Explanation:

By looking at the 2 numbers provided, -10 and -4, you can work out that there is a gap of 6 numbers as(-4) - (-10) = 6

There are 2 intervals between -10 and -4, so each interval is

6/2 = 3

a gap of 3

This means the number to the left of -4 is -7, then -10 which works.

From there, you count how many intervals there is between -10 and the ?

There are 3 intervals, so you have to decrease -10 by -3x3 or -9

Therefore the ? is -19

Another way is to just count it directly

The number directly left of -10 is going to be -13, then -16 and finally -19
