To find the slope of a line passing through two points, we can use the formula:
m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
Given the points (-10, -1) and (5, -4), let's substitute their values into the formula:
m = (-4 - (-1)) / (5 - (-10))
m = (-4 + 1) / (5 + 10)
m = -3 / 15
Therefore, the slope of the line passing through (-10, -1) and (5, -4) is -3/15, which simplifies to -1/5.

Are you SURE?
Apologies for the confusion. Let's calculate the slope again.
Given the points (-10, -1) and (5, -4), the formula to find the slope is:
m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
Substituting the values, we get:
m = (-4 - (-1)) / (5 - (-10))
m = (-4 + 1) / (5 + 10)
m = -3 / 15
Therefore, the slope of the line passing through (-10, -1) and (5, -4) is -3/15, which simplifies to -1/5.
