(1/2)x+b=y because the equation that given the slope is 1/2 if you leave y alone and take the x’s number
put the point now , 4+b=3 so b is -1
the equation is (1/2)x-1=y
Answer:
x=13
Step-by-step explanation:
if you will substitute the value of f(x) with 5, you will get the following equation:
5=2x-21
2x=26/÷2
x=13
(I didn't know what you ment when you wrote x2, is it x square or 2X)
I really hope it was the second one, cause that's how I solved it.
Equation of a tangent line of a curve is:
y- y0 = f´ (x0) (x - x0 ). In this case: x0=1, y0=1
f´(x)=

(Derivation)
f´(x0)=

y - 1 = 1/2 ( x - 1 )
y - 1 = 1/2 x - 1/2
y = 1/2 x - 1/2 + 1
y =
