Question

How do you find the slope of the tangent line to the graph of the function `f(x)=3-2x` at (-1,5)?

Answer 1

`"slope "=-2`

Explanation:

`"note that"`

`"slope (m) " =f'(x)" at x = a"`

`f(x)=3-2xrArrf'(x)=-2`

`"this means that the slope at any point on the line is - 2"`

`"of course "f(x)=3-2x" is a linear equation with m = -2"`
