So floor that you started is x
go down 8 means -8
end on 16
so
x-8=16
add 8
x=24
started on 24
1/y = -3x /2 + 3
mulytiply each term by 2y:-
2 = -3xy + 6y
y = 2 / -3( (x - 2)
y = -0.667 (-2 + x)
Let's find the derivative of that hyperbola in order to find a slope formula to help us with this equation. We already have an x and y value. The derivative is found this way:

so

. The derivative supplies us with the slope formula we need to write the equation. Sub in the x value of 3 to find what the slope is:

. So in our slope-intercept equation, x = 3, y = 1, and m = -1/3. Use these values to solve for b.

so b = 2. The equation, then, for the line tangent to that hyperbola at that given point is
