Answer:

NO

Explanation:

If a₁, a₂, a₃, a₄, a₅, ... make an arithmetic sequence, then

aₙ - aₙ₋₁ = a₅ - a₄ = a₄ - a₃ = a₃ - a₂ = a₂ - a₁ = d (common difference)

7 - 4 = 3

9 - 7 = 2

different differences

No. The differences between two elements should be same. For example 4-7-10-13 is a arithmetic sequence.
