Question

what is the slope of the line through(-5,-10) and (-1,5)

Answer 1

 Put the values of above points in the equation of straight line point-slope form m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1) m=(-5-(-10))/(-1-5) m=(-5+10)/(-6) m=5/-6 m=-5/6. Slope of the line = m = -5/6 so the answer is 5/6

Answer 2

Slope = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1).

So, (5-(-10))/((-1)-(-5) = 15/4.

Therefore, the slope is 15/4. 

Hope this helps!
