Answer:  ⁻¹¹/₆  =  - 1 ⁵/₆  

Step-by-step explanation:

If we rewrite each term of the sequence to a common denominator then it makes it easier to see the pattern:

       ³/₂ , ²/₃ , ⁻¹/₆, -1 , ___

      ⁹/₆ , ⁴/₆ , ⁻¹/₆ , ⁻⁶/₆ , ___

 

This makes the pattern Xₙ = ⁹/₆ - ⁵⁽ⁿ⁻¹⁾/₆

∴ the missing term is ⁻¹¹/₆
