Answer:
m = 1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1. Pick a line of the table to use as (x1, y1).
Step 2. Pick a different line of the table to use as (x2, y2).
Step 3. Use the slope formula:
m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)
Step 4. Simplify the result.

Here are these steps for this problem.
1, 2. use (x1, y1) = (-9, -5) and (x2, y2) = (-3, -3)
3. m = (-3 -(-5))/(-3 -(-9)) = 2/6
4. m = 1/3
