The rule for this sequence is 'multiply by -6'.
Verification ↓
-3*(-6)[tex]\stackrel\checkmark{=}[/tex]18
18*(-6)[tex]\stackrel\checkmark{=}[/tex]-108
So the rule for the sequence is 'multiply by -6'
And the Common ratio is -6.
Hope that made sense !!

✏✏[tex]\large\textsf{Given:-}[/tex]
- The first 3 terms of a sequence :- [tex]\large\textsf{-3, 18, -108}[/tex]
✏✏ [tex]\large\textsf{To Find:-}}[/tex]
- The rule for the sequence = ?
✏✏ [tex]\large\textsf{Solution Steps:-}[/tex]
What do we multiply each term of the sequence by to arrive at the next one ? we can find that by dividing the last term of the sequence, -108, by the middle term, 18:-
[tex]\large{\sf{\longmapsto{-108\div18=-6}[/tex]
Now divide 18 by the first term (-3) :-
[tex]\longmapsto\sf{18\div-3=-6}[/tex]
we arrived at -6 twice, So the rule for this sequence is:- "Multiply by -6, And you'll arrive at the next term"
`hope it helped ~ :D
