The slope is 4/2 or 2

The formula for slope is : y2 - y1

                                        x2 - x1

Slope is rise/run, or y/x. So y from zero to 4 is 4, and x from -2 to zero is 2. and 4/2=2, so the slope is 2

Suppose that we don't have a formula for g(x) but we know that g(3) = −5 and g'(x) = x2 + 7 for all x. (
True [87]
So it tells us that g(3) = -5 and g'(x) = x^2 + 7.

So g(3) = -5 is the point (3, -5)
Using linear approximation
g(2.99) is the point (2.99, g(3) + g'(3)*(2.99-3))

now we just need to simplify that
(2.99, -5 + (16)*(-.01)) which is (2.99, -5 + -.16) which is (2.99, -5.16)
So g(2.99) = -5.16 

Doing the same thing for the other g(3.01)
(3.01, g(3) + g'(3)*(3.01-3))
(3.01, -5 + 16*.01) which is (3.01, -4.84)
So g(3.01) = -4.84

So we have our linear approximation for the two. 

If you wanted to, you could check your answer by finding g(x).  Since you know g'(x), take the antiderivative and we will get 
g(x) = 1/3x^3 + 7x + C
Since we know g(3) = -5, we can use that to solve for C
1/3(3)^3 + 7(3) + C = -5 and we find that C = -35
so that means g(x) = (x^3)/3 + 7x - 35

So just to check our linear approximations use that to find g(2.99) and g(3.01)

g(2.99) = -5.1597
g(3.01) = -4.8397

So as you can see, using the linear approximation we got our answers as
g(2.99) = -5.16
g(3.01) = -4.84
which are both really close to the actual answer.  Not a bad method if you ever need to use it.
