The given progression -1, -5/6, -2/3, -1/2, ...........
Clearly, -5/6 - (-1) = -2/3 - (-5/6) = -1/2 - (-2/3) = 1/6 (constant)
Thus, each term differs from its preceding term by 1/6 So, the given progression is an AP.
First term = -1
Common difference = 1/6
Next tern of the AP = -1/2 +1/6 = -2/6 = -1/3
