Answer: slope = -1,5

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use slope formula to find the slope of a line that passes through two points (x₁ , y₁) and (x₂ , y₂)

m = ∆y/∆x = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

Given points are: p(x₁ , y₁) = (5 , −9) and q(x₂ , y₂) = (−5 , 6)

Substituting these two known points in the slope formula, we have:

m = (6-(-9))/(-5-5) = 15/-10 = -1,5

Therefore, the slope of this line = -1,5  

Answer: slope = -1,5
