To solve this problem, we can use the slope formula !
slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are the coordinates of the two points.
Using this formula, we can find the slope of the line passing through (-10, -1) and (0, 1):
slope = (1 - (-1)) / (0 - (-10))
= 2/10
= 1/5
So the slope of the line passing through these two points is 1/5.
To find the equation of the line passing through these two points, we can use the point-slope form:
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
where (x1, y1) is one of the points and m is the slope.
Let's use the first point (-10, -1):
y - (-1) = (1/5)(x - (-10))
Simplifying, we get:
y + 1 = (1/5)x + 2
Subtracting 1 from both sides, we get:
y = (1/5)x + 1
So the equation of the line passing through (-10, -1) and (0, 1) is y = (1/5)x + 1.
