It seems like there is a misunderstanding in the sequence mentioned. The terms given are -2, -3, and -4, with a notation "[1\2]" that is unclear.

If the sequence indicates that it is an arithmetic sequence beginning with -2 and following a pattern, we first need to identify the common difference. Based on the first two terms:

- Second term: -3
- First term: -2

The common difference (d) can be calculated as:

\[
d = -3 - (-2) = -1
\]

Identifying the terms:

1. First term (a₁) = -2
2. Second term (a₂) = -3
3. Third term (a₃) = -4 (given)
4. Fourth term (a₄) = -4 - 1 = -5
5. Fifth term (a₅) = -5 - 1 = -6
6. Sixth term (a₆) = -6 - 1 = -7
7. Seventh term (a₇) = -7 - 1 = -8

Hence, the fifth term is **-6** and the seventh term is **-8**.
