Greetings and Happy Holidays!

We can use the slope formula to find the slope, given the two points.

m= (y_(2)- y_(1))/(x_(2)- x_(1))

Input the values:

m= (-9-(-4))/(6-3)

Simplify.

m= (-5)/(3)

The Answer Is:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}m= (-5)/(3) \end{array}\right]

The slope is
(-5)/(3)

Hope this helped!
