Find the slope of a line that passes through (-10,-1) and (5,-4). A. 1 b. 1/3 c. -1/5 d. -3

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

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

In this case, the points are (-10, -1) and (5, -4):

slope = (-4 - (-1)) / (5 - (-10))
slope = (-4 + 1) / (5 + 10)
slope = -3 / 15
slope = -1/5

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

Correct answer: c. -1/5
