Hello!

Answer:

$\Large \boxed{\sf -11}$

Explanation:

→ We want to find the next term of this sequence:

$\sf (-1, -3, -5, -7, -9, ...)$

→ The sequence (-1, -3, -5, -7, -9, ...) is an arithmetic sequence because the difference between any two consecutive terms is constant.

→ The common difference is -2.

→ So the next term of this sequence is equal to:

$\sf -9-2 = \boxed{\sf -11}$

Conclusion:

The next term of the sequence (-1, -3, -5, -7, -9, ...) is -11.
