Answer:

-14/0

Explanation:

Well, we know that the formula for slope is rise over run. You might be thinking well what does that mean. It means we are going to take our y values over our x values. So, it will look something like this: -5-9/-3-(-3). Pretty simple right! Now heres a tip, when you see two "negatives" like -3-(-3), you can automatically change it to look like: -3+3! Remember this won't work unless you have those two negatives next to each other. So it doesn't apply to -5-9. Okay lets get to solving. We know that -5-9 is equal to -14 so our equation will now look like: -14/-3+3. We also know that -3+3 will equal to zero. So now our equation looks like -14/0. This should be your answer because you cannot simplify it further.

Please let me know if I was incorrect or if you have any further questions!!! I hope I helped!!
