\bf \begin{array}{lllll} &x_1&y_1&x_2&y_2\\ % (a,b) &({{ 16}}\quad ,&{{ -1}})\quad % (c,d) &({{ -4}}\quad ,&{{ 10}}) \end{array} \\\\\\ % slope = m slope = {{ m}}= \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies \cfrac{{{ y_2}}-{{ y_1}}}{{{ x_2}}-{{ x_1}}}\implies \cfrac{10-(-1)}{-4-16}\implies \cfrac{10+1}{-4-16} \\\\\\ -\cfrac{11}{20}
