$-7+2(x-3)\\use\ distributive\ property:a(b+c)=ab+ac\\\\-7+2(x)+2(-3)=-7+2x-6\\use\ commutative\ property:a+b=b+a\\\\2x+(-7)+(-6)=\boxed{2x-13}\to\boxed{D}$

Find the equation of all tangent lines having slope of -1 that are tangent to the curve y=(9)/(x+1)

fredd [130]

Answer:

$f(x)=\frac9{x+1}\\ f'(x)=-\frac9{(x+1)^2}\\ f'(x)=-1\ \iff\ -\frac9{(x+1)^2}=-1\ \to \ \frac9{(x+1)^2}=1\ \to \ (x+1)^2=9\\ |x+1|=3\ \to \ x+1=3\ \vee\ x+1=-3\\ x_1=2\ \vee\ x_2=-4\\ f(x_1)=f(2)=\frac9{2+1}=3\\ f(x_2)=f(-4)=\frac9{-4+1}=-3$
