Find the slope of a line that passes through (-10, -1) and (5, -4).(1 point)
answer choices:
-1/5
1/3
1
-3
The formula for calculating the slope of a line is given by:
m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
In this case, we have the coordinates (-10, -1) as (x1, y1) and (5, -4) as (x2, y2). Plugging these values into the slope formula, we get:
m = (-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.
