Answer: -6/5

Step-by-step explanation: Graph the ordered pairs, then count the squares directly underneath until you get to the -6 point. When you are on the line of -6 the go right until you reach the -6 point. Count how many squares you hit doing that and put the up or down number on top and then put the left or right number on bottom. (If you go down on the rise part of the equation then it would be negative, if you go left on the run part of the equation then it would also be negative, everything else is positive.)
