To find the 9th term of the sequence defined by the formula \( a_n = -9n - 3 \), we need to substitute \( n = 9 \) into the formula.
\[
a_9 = -9(9) - 3
\]
Calculating further:
\[
a_9 = -81 - 3
\]
\[
a_9 = -84
\]
Therefore, the 9th term of the sequence is \(\boxed{-84}\).
\[
a_9 = -9(9) - 3
\]
Calculating further:
\[
a_9 = -81 - 3
\]
\[
a_9 = -84
\]
Therefore, the 9th term of the sequence is \(\boxed{-84}\).
