We are given the following series

-6, -2, 2, 6

Common difference = last term - first term

For the first two terms

The common difference is calculated as

Last term - first term

Last term = -2

First term = -6

Common difference = -2 - (-6)

= -2 + 6

common difference = 4

Common difference = 2 - (-2)

common difference = 2 + 2

Common difference = 4

Last two terms

common difference = 6 - 2

Common difference = 4

The common difference for this sequence is 4

The sequence is arithmetic.
