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.
