Neither

Step-by-step explanation:

If the sequence is arithmetic, there will be a common difference.

6 - (-3) = 9

-9 - 6 = - 15

12 - (-9) = 21

The sequence is not arithmetic.

If the sequence is geometric, there will be a common ratio.

6 / - 3 = - 2

-9 / 6 = - 3/2

12 / - 9 = - 4/3

The sequence is not geometric.
