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
