Answer: 11 down and 9 right

Explanation:

Slope IS rise over run where the top number of the fraction (numerator) determines the vertical distance --> positive is up, negative is down

and the bottom number of the fraction (denominator) determines the horizontal distance --> positive is right, negative is left.

Given slope = -11/9

the numerator is -11 so the "rise" is DOWN 11 units

the denominator is 9 so the "run" is RIGHT 9 units
