-1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope
[tex] \sf let \: ( - 9, - 5) = (x_1,y_1) \\ \\ \sf ( - 1, - 9) = (x_2,y_2)[/tex]
[tex] \sf Slope(m) = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} [/tex]
Substituting the values
[tex] \sf \implies m = \frac{ - 9 - ( - 5)}{ - 1 - ( - 9)} \\ \\ \\ \sf \implies m = \frac{ - 9 + 5}{ - 1 + 9} \\ \\ \\ \sf \implies m = \frac{ - 4}{8} \\ \\ \\ \sf \implies m = - \frac{1}{2} [/tex]
