Find the slope of the line that passes throught the points (10, 1) and (5, 2).

Answer 1

The slope of a line passing through two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is given by the formula:

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

Using the points (10, 1) and (5, 2), we have:

m = (2 - 1) / (5 - 10)
m = 1 / (-5)
m = -1/5

Therefore, the slope of the line passing through the points (10, 1) and (5, 2) is -1/5.
