To find the ninth term of an arithmetic sequence, we can use the formula A(n) = a + (n - 1)d, where a is the first term and d is the common difference.

In this case, a = -14 and d = 2.

So, the ninth term can be found using the formula A(9) = -14 + (9 - 1)(2) = -14 + 8(2) = -14 + 16 = 2.

Therefore, the ninth term of the arithmetic sequence is 2.
