depends on the slinky
Depends on how long the slinky is...
To fix and stretched out slinky you should put the slinky in hot (not boiling water) for two min, and then take it out and place something heavy on the slinky.
If you hold the ends of a slinky toy so that it is stretched out horizontally you can demonstrate excitations of both transverse and longitudinal waves. If you move one end of the slinky up and down in a periodic fashion you will see transverse waves. If you move one end of the slinky in and out along the horizontal direction that it is stretched out in, you will excite longitudinal waves.

when stretched out, the worlds biggest slinky has been measured to be 40ft. and 2in.

You can throw it away and buy a new one.

A slinky is stretched across a classroom to 9 meters. A compression travels along the slinky at a velocity of 2 m s . How long does it take to travel the entire 9m length of the classroom?
Length/time=Velocity
If it is plastic one there really is no way to fix it. But, if it is metal but it close to boiling water for around two to three minutes. Then take your slinky out (Put it in a uncoiled and stacked form.) and let cool with a heavy book on top of it and then your slinky should return a mostly normal stage.
Compressions and rarefractions make up sound waves. These look like squashed up coils of a spring and then stretched out coils. Try using a slinky on the ground to show it. Grab a friend, and hold both ends of the slinky stretched across the room, then push at one end. You will see the compression move along the slinky. Do it over again rapidly and you will see the series of compressions, which mirrors the behavior of a sound wave.
