well, since we know is a geometric sequence, we can always get the common ratio of it by simply dividing one value by the one behind it... so let's do so, with say hmm -32 and 8 -32/8 = -4 <-- our common ratio
the first term is -2
[tex]\bf n^{th}\textit{ term of a geometric sequence}\\\\
a_n=a_1\cdot r^{n-1}\qquad
\begin{cases}
n=n^{th}\ term\\
a_1=\textit{first term's value}\\
r=\textit{common ratio}\\
----------\\
a_1=-2\\
r=-4
\end{cases}\implies a_n=-2(-4)^{n-1}[/tex]
