To find the slope of a line passing through two points, we can use the formula:
slope = (change in y-coordinate)/(change in x-coordinate).
Given the points (-10, -1) and (5, -4), the change in y-coordinate is -4 - (-1) = -4 + 1 = -3, and the change in x-coordinate is 5 - (-10) = 5 + 10 = 15.
Therefore, the slope of the line passing through these points is -3/15 = -1/5.
The correct answer is: 0 -1/5.
