The initial point is (5,5)

the final point is (9, 3)

The formula for determining slope is expressed as

slope = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

y2 and y1 are the final and initial y values

x2 and x1 are the final and initial x values

From the information given,

x1 = 5, y1 = 5

x2 = 9, y2 = 3

Slope = (3 - 5)/(9 - 5) = - 2/4

Slope = - 1/2
