Explanation:

Step1: Find the multiplier between terms

To find the constant multiplier, calculate $\frac{\text{next term}}{\text{previous term}}$.
First pair: $\frac{-79}{-71} \approx 1.1127$
Second pair: $\frac{-87}{-79} \approx 1.1013$
Third pair: $\frac{-95}{-87} \approx 1.0920$
Fourth pair: $\frac{-103}{-95} \approx 1.0842$

Step2: Check for constant multiplier

The calculated multipliers are not equal, so there is no shared non-zero constant multiplier. Instead, each term is the previous term plus $-8$ (since $-71 + (-8) = -79$, $-79 + (-8) = -87$, etc.).

Answer:

The missing boxes (multipliers, rounded to 4 decimal places) are: $\frac{-79}{-71} \approx 1.1127$, $\frac{-87}{-79} \approx 1.1013$, $\frac{-95}{-87} \approx 1.0920$, $\frac{-103}{-95} \approx 1.0842$
Is each term of the sequence equal to the previous term multiplied or divided by the same non-zero constant? $\text{No}$
Each term of the sequence is equal to the previous term plus $-8$
