Slope of line passing through two points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is given by

m= y2−y1/x2 - x1

Here, m = slope

Since the line passes through (-1,2) and (-5,10)

Here x1 = -1, y1 = 2

And, x2 = -5, y2 = 10

Putting values, we get

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

= 8/-5+1

= 8/-4

= -2

So, the slope of the line is -2
