you can find the arithmetic sequence by 
sabtracting 9-5=4   and 15-9=6
so its not a arithmetic sequence because it does not have a common ratio

In mathematics, an arithmetic progression (AP) or arithmetic sequence is a sequence of numbers such that the difference between the consecutive terms is constant. For instance, the sequence 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15 … is an arithmetic progression with common difference of 2.
