\[a_{6} = 6;\ \ a_{9} = 15:\]
\[a_{6} = a_{1} + 5d \Longrightarrow a_{1} = a_{6} - 5d;\]
\[a_{9} = a_{1} + 8d \Longrightarrow a_{1} = a_{9} - 8d.\]
\[a_{6} - 5d = a_{9} - 8d\]
\[- 5d + 8d = a_{9} - a_{6}\]
\[3d = 15 - 6\]
\[3d = 9\]
\[d = 3.\]
\[a_{1} = a_{6} - 5d = 6 - 5 \cdot 3 = 6 - 15 = - 9.\]
\[Ответ:1).\]
