Answer:

This is a geometric sequence with a common ratio of -4

Step-by-step explanation:

Take the second term and divide by the first term

-4/1 = -4

Take the third term and divide by the second term

16/-4 = -4

Take the fourth term and divide by the third

-64/16 = -4

This is a geometric sequence with a common ratio of -4
