About A9b5/D#

A9b5/D# is A 9 b5 with D# as the lowest note. This is the 2nd inversion of the chord — the same notes as A 9 b5 (A, C#, D#, G, B), but voiced so that D# sits in the bass. Slash chords create a smoother bass line movement and are common in chord progressions where the bass walks stepwise.
