Question

Find the slope of a line that passes through (-10, -1) and (5, -4).(1 point)

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

The slope of a line passing through two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) can be found using the formula:

slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Using the given points (-10, -1) and (5, -4), we can substitute the values into the slope formula:

slope = (-4 - (-1)) / (5 - (-10))

= (-4 + 1) / (5 + 10)

= -3 / 15

= -1/5

Therefore, the slope of the line passing through (-10, -1) and (5, -4) is -1/5.
