Answer:

[tex]a_{7}[/tex] = - 160

Step-by-step explanation:

The n th term of a geometric sequence is calculated as

[tex]a_{n}[/tex] = a₁[tex](r)^{n-1}[/tex]

where a₁ is the first term and r the common ratio

Given

a₂ = - 5, then

a₁r = - 5, that is

2a₁ = - 5 ⇒ a₁ = - 2.5, thus

[tex]a_{7}[/tex] = - 2.5 × [tex](2)^{6}[/tex] = - 2.5 × 64 = - 160
