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