You need to select two points on the line:

The rise is the vertical distance, and the run is the horizontal distance:

Rise: Use the coordinates in y to find the rise:


rise=-5.5-(-1)=-5.5+1=-4.5

Run: Use the coordinates in x to find the run:


\text{run}=0-9=-9The slope (m) is: 1/2 or 0.5
\begin{gathered} m=\frac{rise}{\text{run}} \\ \\ m=(-4.5)/(-9)=(1)/(2) \end{gathered}
