Adjusting the equation into y=5.9x+9, this is in slope-intercept form and shows that the slope is 5.9. The meaning of slope of a line is, VerticalChange%2FHorizontalChange. The signs must be accounted for.

Thinking of the slope in its ordinary rational form may be helpful:
5.9=5%2B9%2F10=50%2F10%2B9%2F10=59%2F10.
