Find the slope of a line that passes through (-10, -1) and (5,-4)
−1/5
1/3
1
-3
To find the slope of a line passing through two points, we use the formula:
slope = (change in y-coordinates) / (change in x-coordinates)
Given the points (-10, -1) and (5, -4), the change in y-coordinates is -4 - (-1) = -4 + 1 = -3, and the change in x-coordinates is 5 - (-10) = 5 + 10 = 15.
Therefore, the slope is (-3) / (15) = -1/5.
