To find the slope of a line passing through two points, we can use the formula:

slope = (change in y-coordinates) / (change in x-coordinates)

Let's calculate the slope using the given points (-1, -9) and (5, -6):

Change in y-coordinates = -6 - (-9) = -6 + 9 = 3
Change in x-coordinates = 5 - (-1) = 5 + 1 = 6

Therefore, the slope is:

slope = 3 / 6 =
