Answer:
-1 / 2.
Step-by-step explanation:
The Slope of a line when given two points:
First establish the two points as (X1, Y1) and (X2,Y2)
you can decide which point is (X1, Y1) and which point is (X2,Y2) in any order
So I choose (X1, Y1) = (-10,1) and (X2,Y2) = (0,-4)
Next use this equation to find the difference in rise/run (rise over run): (Y2 - Y1) / (X2 - X1)
Now we're ready to solve by plugging in our points: ( (-4) - 1 ) / ( 0 - (-10) ) **DON'T FORGET negatives attached to numbers when plugging in**
Solve: (-5) / 10 = -5 / 10 or -1 / 2 reduced by taking out a 5 from top and bottom. So your slope is equal to -1 / 2.
