Find the slope of a line that passes through (-10, -1) and (5, -4).(1 point) Responses −15 negative 1 fifth 13 1 third 1 1 -3
The slope of a line can be found using the formula:
m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
Given the points (-10, -1) and (5, -4), the coordinates (x1, y1) are (-10, -1) and the coordinates (x2, y2) are (5, -4). Substituting into the formula:
m = (-4 - (-1)) / (5 - (-10))
m = (-4 + 1) / (5 + 10)
m = -3 / 15
m = -1 / 5
Therefore, the slope of the line is -1/5.
