Explanation:

Slope is rise over run. This means your y is over your x. Start with subtracting your y values. It doesn't matter which way, just make sure you do the same with the x values. For this, I'll do it 6 - -9. The two negatives cancel out and make a positive, so your y value is 15. Now, do the same to the x values. -9 - -1 is -8. You're left with 15/-8. Since this can't be simplified, this is your final answer. Hope I helped!
